Testimonials
CDC Groundworks provided an excellent service; the ability to understand and complete the challenging works required within a Category 3 Flood Zone was exemplary of the company’s attention to detail.
The accuracy and quality of the works carried out by CDC set the benchmark for the rest of the project.
CDC Groundworks installed the rising sewer main on schedule,-in less than 3 weeks-avoiding 13 electric cables, 6 sewer drains and 8 water mains.
The job was finished with minimal impact to the surrounding area and most importantly the price quoted was the price I paid. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cris Cowburn and will certainly be retaining his services again in the near future.
We have recently completed a self build four bedroom detached house with garage; we met Cris through our local builder who undertook all the groundwork, drains, and foundations.
We were very impressed with his attention to detail as the foundations were a complex steel raft structure. We had no need to hire equipment as Cris owns all of what is needed on site; all machinery that was used was maintained to the highest standard. We would not hesitate to recommend CDC Groundworks.
