F.A.Q.
Have questions about your projects groundwork? Our FAQ section provides helpful answers to guide you through the process and ensure your project runs smoothly.
What are groundworks and why are they important?
Groundworks refer to the essential preparation and foundation work done on a site before construction can begin. This includes excavation, laying foundations, installing drainage systems, and levelling land. Proper groundworks ensure that the property is stable, well-drained, and ready for the construction of structures, minimising future issues like flooding or foundation damage.
How do I know what type of foundation is best for my property?
The type of foundation depends on several factors such as soil conditions, the size of the structure, and the local climate. A professional surveyor or groundworks expert can assess your site to determine the most suitable foundation, whether it’s a slab, strip, raft, or pile foundation, based on your property’s needs.
How long does it take to complete groundworks on a typical property?
The time required for groundworks varies depending on the complexity and size of the project. Simple residential groundwork might take a few days, while more extensive work such as foundations, drainage, and levelling for larger buildings or commercial projects can take several weeks.
What is the cost of groundworks?
The cost of groundworks depends on the scope of the project, including excavation, foundation type, drainage, and site preparation. It’s best to get a detailed quote from a groundworks contractor, as costs can vary based on the size of the property, the type of work required, and the region.
Do I need planning permission for groundworks?
In most cases, planning permission is not required for basic groundworks such as excavation and levelling. However, certain types of work, like major drainage systems, retaining walls, or building foundations, may require approval from local authorities, especially if they affect neighbouring properties or involve significant alterations. It’s always best to check with your local council or a professional before beginning work.

What Our Customers Say About Us
Can’t recommend Brightstone Developments highly enough! Paul and the team were fantastic from start to finish. A great single storey wrap around extension. The lads went above and beyond completed the build on budget and within the quoted time. The attention to detail and the finish was superb we even had the guys back to fit new uPVC windows throughout the house.
If anybody needs any work doing on your property give these guys a call.
Must give a big shout out to Jamie Delvechio for a fantastic job on the flooring throughout the house.
Nick Watson
Extension
What can I say! We went on quite the journey deciding whether to move or improve, and in the end we went for the extension we'd thought about for so long. I feel as if I've known Paul and co for ages now! Came out to quote ages ago, welcomed us on site to a job to see their work in action, came back once we'd made the decision. I'm sad to see him move on to the next job! Honestly we thought it would be a lot of upheaval and stress but the Brightstone team make the process feel easy and stress-free. Nothing is too much trouble, Paul knows exactly what he's doing and he does it so well. Thank you team for all your work here, and I do hope you'll pop back next year for that other job, we'll need a catch up! If anyone is looking for a good builder, you cannot go wrong with Brightstone. They are fab.

Did an excellent job removing our garage door and bricking up the space and fitting a new window. Unlike some tradesmen, he was quick to reply and always turned up when he said he was going to, very reliable and really nice friendly guy! 100% recommend for any form of home improvements.

Deciding on a builder to take on your home project is a big and daunting decision. It’s a stressful and expensive process so you want to feel absolutely confident in your choice of builder. Choosing Brightstone Developments was an easy decision, and we couldn’t be more happy with the outcome.
Punctual, great pride in their work, very fairly priced, understanding a customers needs and requirements, polite, clean and respectful.
Our new space has transformed our life’s. We can’t recommend Jim, Paul and the team enough. We wish them every success in the future, thank you.
Jamie Del Vecchio
Extension
Highly recommend Brightstone development I would give them a five star rating. It took just over a week to renovate our family bathroom. We had a wall knocked down and moved, sink relocated and a brand new shower cubicle fitted. The quality is amazing and we are all very pleased and it exceeded our expectations. The team were hard working, doing at least ten hours a day to get the job done. We have in fact booked them to come back and do our ensuite bathroom.

After spending ages trying to get a builder with lots of no shows and promises, I was recommended Brightstone Developments.
I would like to say they were fantastic from start to finish.
After contacting them, they turned up next day to have a look and got a very competitive quote within a couple of days.
The work they completed was to a very high standard and very impressed with their professional help on advising on better ideas.
While they were here, they looked at other plans for a side extension on our property and gave us a great quote and we are booked in later in the year and looking forward to having the job done.
A big thank you to Jim and Paul.
