Earthworks sit at the foundation of every successful construction project, and McCoys delivers this critical phase with precision, efficiency and absolute control. From initial site clearance through to bulk excavation, cut‑and‑fill operations and final formation levels, our teams combine modern plant, digital surveying and rigorous quality management to create safe, stable platforms for the structures that follow.
We understand that no two sites behave the same. Ground conditions, programme pressures and environmental constraints all shape the approach, which is why we tailor our methodology to each project, ensuring the right balance of speed, sustainability and cost certainty.
Whether we’re preparing greenfield land for development or transforming complex brownfield sites, our engineers and operatives work seamlessly to manage materials, minimise waste and keep projects moving.
With a proven track record across residential and commercial schemes, McCoys provides earthworks solutions that reduce risk, enhance buildability and set the standard for the phases that follow. Our commitment is simple: deliver a stable, compliant and expertly prepared site that gives every project the strongest possible start.
McCoys delivers comprehensive site remediation and clearance services that prepare even the most challenging environments for safe, compliant development. Our teams manage everything from vegetation removal and demolition through to contamination assessment, material segregation and controlled disposal.
By combining robust environmental management with efficient on‑site logistics, we ensure that every site is cleared responsibly, sustainably and ready for the next phase of construction. Whether dealing with brownfield complexities or straightforward greenfield preparation, we create clean, compliant platforms that reduce risk and keep programmes on track.
Our 3D modelling capability brings clarity, accuracy and foresight to the early stages of earthworks planning. Using advanced digital surveying and modelling software, we create detailed representations of existing terrain, proposed formations and construction interfaces. These models allow clients and design teams to visualise the site, identify constraints and optimise design decisions before work begins.
By integrating real‑world data with precise digital modelling, McCoys enhances collaboration, reduces uncertainty and ensures that every project starts with a clear, informed understanding of the ground.
Ground stabilisation is essential for creating reliable, long‑term foundations, and McCoys brings deep technical expertise to every project.
Using proven techniques such as soil modification, lime and cement stabilisation and geotechnical reinforcement, we enhance the strength, durability and performance of existing ground conditions.
Our engineers assess each site’s unique characteristics to design solutions that improve load‑bearing capacity, reduce settlement and minimise the need for imported materials. The result is a stable, cost‑effective platform that supports efficient construction and extends the lifespan of the finished asset.
Sustainability is embedded into every stage of McCoys earthworks operations, shaping the way we plan, manage and deliver projects.
Our approach focuses on reducing environmental impact while maximising efficiency, using data‑driven methodologies to minimise waste, optimise material movements and lower carbon output. By prioritising on‑site reuse of soils, adopting low‑emission plant and integrating digital tools that streamline decision‑making, we help clients meet both regulatory requirements and long‑term environmental goals.
From early design input to final formation, our teams work collaboratively to deliver earthworks solutions that are responsible, resilient and aligned with the industry’s transition toward more sustainable construction.
McCoys provides specialist earthworks services for projects that demand a higher level of technical expertise, precision and control. Whether working within constrained urban environments, managing complex ground conditions or delivering engineered solutions for infrastructure and large‑scale developments, our teams bring deep geotechnical understanding and advanced planning capabilities to every challenge.
We combine modern surveying, intelligent modelling and specialist plant to execute works safely and efficiently, even in the most demanding settings. From reinforced earth structures and deep excavations to complex cut‑and‑fill strategies, McCoys delivers specialist earthworks that enhance buildability, reduce risk and ensure long‑term performance.
Accurate volumising is critical for cost control, programme certainty and efficient material management. McCoys uses high‑precision surveying and digital analysis to calculate cut‑and‑fill volumes, stockpile quantities and material movements with exceptional accuracy.
This data-driven approach allows us to optimise earthworks strategies, minimise waste, and ensure that resources are used efficiently throughout the project. By providing clear, reliable volume assessments, we help clients make informed decisions that support both commercial and environmental objectives.
We're proud of what we do. Viewing our earthwork projects will show you exactly why.
