Construction & Civils

Bulk earthworks, platform preparation and plant hire for contractors working to a programme and a penalty clause.

The sector

Working in construction & civils

Civil contractors need plant that arrives when the programme says it will and works the hours it was hired for. Late mobilisation and unreliable machines cost the main contractor far more than the hire rate.

We supply plant wet or dry into civil programmes, and take on the bulk earthworks package directly where that is simpler for the contractor. Levels are worked to survey control and handed over with as-built data the engineer can sign.

Where a project runs to a tight float, planned servicing is scheduled around the critical path rather than into it.

Compliance in this sector

  • Construction Regulations compliance and site-specific health and safety files
  • Occupational Health and Safety Act appointments and inductions
  • Plant inspection registers maintained on site
  • Public liability cover confirmed before mobilisation
The real constraints

What actually costs money in this sector

Not a generic list of pain points. These are the pressures the operations we work for talk about in their own production meetings.

Programme float is thin

A machine that arrives two days late or fails for a week eats the float the whole programme depends on.

Levels have to satisfy the engineer

Platform and layer work has to be surveyed and signed. Approximate is a rework instruction with a delay attached.

Plant cost has to be predictable

Wet hire that carries maintenance and breakdown risk gives a cost per hour the estimator can actually rely on.
