Construction work in York
Most new commercial development in York takes place on the business parks around the outer ring road. Typical work for us in this area includes commercial units, housing plots and agricultural buildings on the outskirts of the city.
York is in the Vale of York, where glacial clays, sands and gravels vary over short distances and the land near the rivers lies within the flood plain. A ground investigation early in the project settles the foundation and drainage design.
We work from the engineer's drawings and set out with our own survey equipment. Sites near the A64 and the outer ring road and the Clifton Moor and Monks Cross business areas are within easy reach of our office by the A63 and A1079.
