CDH Construction covers Cottingham and the HU16 postcode area from our office in Newport, about 12 miles away.
Construction work in Cottingham
Cottingham is one of the largest villages in the East Riding, with a long history of commercial horticulture. Typical work for us in this area includes housing plots, extensions to commercial premises and horticultural sites.
Much of the ground around Cottingham is soft estuarine clay and silt with a high water table, and many sites include made ground from earlier use. Raft and piled foundations are common, and surface water usually has to be attenuated before it is discharged.
We work from the engineer's drawings and set out with our own survey equipment. Sites near Castle Hill Hospital and King Street and the glasshouses to the north of the village are within easy reach of our office by the M62 and A63.
