Groundworks are fundamental to every successful build, and with decades of experience, McCoy delivers groundworks packages with a strong focus on quality, safety and a clear understanding of how structures perform over time. We work to tight timescales, manage environmental responsibilities with care and bring practical problem‑solving expertise to even the most complex site challenges.
From foundations and drainage to utilities, concrete works and external infrastructure, we provide a complete, integrated service that prepares sites for safe, efficient and compliant construction.
Our teams combine technical expertise with modern equipment and digital planning tools to ensure every element is installed accurately and to specification.
We understand the pressures of programme, cost and coordination, which is why we work closely with clients, consultants and other trades to sequence works effectively and maintain momentum on site. Whether delivering complex foundation systems, installing critical underground services or constructing robust external works, we approach every project with the same commitment to quality and long‑term performance.
With experience across residential and commercial and infrastructure developments, McCoys provides groundworks solutions that reduce risk, enhance buildability and create the solid foundations every project depends on. Our focus is simple: deliver safe, compliant and expertly executed groundworks that set the standard for everything that follows
McCoys provides early-stage technical insight that strengthens decision‑making and sets projects up for success long before work begins on site. Our teams support clients with feasibility assessments, buildability reviews, value‑engineering options and programme planning, ensuring that every groundworks package is executed based on practical and buildable solutions. By engaging early, we help identify risks, refine design intent and optimise sequencing, reducing uncertainty and preventing avoidable delays. This proactive approach ensures that when construction starts, it does so based on clarity, efficiency and informed strategy.
Robust foundations are the backbone of every successful structure, and McCoys delivers them with precision, technical excellence and with quality throughout. From traditional strip and pad foundations to complex reinforced concrete slabs and ground‑bearing solutions, our teams bring deep experience across a wide range of building types and ground conditions. We combine accurate setting‑out, high‑quality workmanship and efficient delivery to create durable, compliant foundations that support long‑term structural performance. Whether for residential, or commercial projects, we provide the stable platform every development depends on.
Effective drainage is essential for safe, resilient and compliant development and McCoys delivers systems designed to perform for decades. Our expertise covers everything from foul and surface water drainage to deep drainage, manhole construction and complex attenuation solutions such as stormwater tanks, swales and permeable systems. By understanding environmental considerations and long‑term maintenance needs, we create drainage networks that manage water responsibly and protect developments from flooding. The result is a reliable, future‑proof system that supports sustainable growth..
McCoys provides coordinated installation of essential underground services, ensuring developments are fully connected and ready for occupation. Our teams manage the creation of structures for water, gas, electric, telecoms and district heating systems, delivering each element with accuracy and compliance. Through careful planning, precise trenching and seamless integration with other civil engineering activities, we minimise disruption and maintain programme momentum. The outcome is a safe, efficient and fully serviced site prepared for the next stage of construction..
From hard landscaping to access roads, pavements, kerbing, car parks and public realm features such as retaining walls and lighting, McCoys delivers external works that combine durability, functionality and visual quality. Our teams create finished environments that enhance usability, improve safety and complement the surrounding architecture. By managing materials, levels, drainage interfaces and surface finishes with meticulous attention to detail, we ensure that every external space is built to last. Whether forming the final touches of a development or enabling critical access routes, our external works packages provide the polished, practical environments that complete a project.
We're proud of what we do. Viewing our earthwork projects will show you exactly why.
