About us

Specialist groundworks and civil engineering for commercial projects.

Reef Construction Ltd is a specialist groundworks and civil engineering contractor working across London and the South East. Our services cover site preparation, excavation, drainage and reinforced concrete, carried out by our own teams with our own plant.

Much of our work takes place on live and regulated sites, including schools in term time, hospitals with wards in use and food facilities in full production. On these projects, careful access planning, phasing and vetting keep the programme on track, and that is where our experience counts most.

Why Reef

Run the same way on every job.

The way we price, plan and run a package does not change with the size of the job.

Priced and run by the same people

The people who price your package are the people who run it on site, so nothing is lost between stages.

Straight answers, early

One point of contact who knows the job, and who tells you when something moves rather than letting you find out.

Budgets that hold

Measured pricing up front, with staffing and sequence planned against it and reported as works progress.

Whole packages, not part trades

Site clearance through to external works under one contract, so you are not coordinating six subcontractors.

Built for live, regulated sites

Schools in term time, hospitals with wards open, food plants still producing, MoD and heritage estates.

Our own plant and crews

Machines, operators and supervision to the programme, so the sequence never waits on a hire slot.

How we work

From first enquiry to a cleared handover.

Five stages on every package, so you always know what happens next and who owns it.

Stage 1 Enquiry
Stage 2 Site visit
Stage 3 Price and sequence
Stage 4 On site
Stage 5 Cleared handover
Stage 1 of 5 Enquiry

Tell us the scope, the programme and the dates you need to hit, and we will confirm quickly whether the package fits.

Stage 2 of 5 Site visit

We walk the site and check access, levels, ground conditions and services, so nothing turns up as a surprise once we have mobilised.

Stage 3 of 5 Price and sequence

A measured price with the build order set out and a realistic start date, planned against staffing and plant availability.

Stage 4 of 5 On site

Our own crews, plant and supervision run the works, with one point of contact reporting as the programme progresses.

Stage 5 of 5 Cleared handover

Inspected, signed off and cleared, so your follow-on trades start on programme instead of picking up after us.

Mission & values

What drives us forward.

It comes down to one thing: main contractors and developers across the South East being able to hand us the substructure and stop worrying about it.

Our Mission

Deliver complete groundworks packages on programme and on budget, from first cut to cleared handover.

Our Values

Honesty on pricing, straight communication when things move, and safe working on every site we set foot on.

Every site, every time

What every client can rely on.

Whatever the package and whatever the site, these are the things that do not change from one job to the next.

Talk to our team
A start date we can hold

We only commit to dates we can meet, and flag movement early.

Carded, supervised gangs

Operatives carded for the work, supervision on the ground.

Plant to the programme

Machines and operators there when the sequence needs them.

Work that passes inspection

Levels checked as work goes in, drainage tested before backfill.

A site kept under control

Dust, noise, haulage and storage planned around your operation.

A clean handover

Cleared and signed off so follow-on trades start on programme.

Everything below and around the build: site clearance and preparation, bulk excavation, foundations, reinforced concrete works and basements, drainage, concrete flatwork, tank installation, external works and Section 278 highway works. Taking it as one package means one contract and one team rather than coordinating separate trades.

London and the South East of England. We are based at Moorhall Farm in Hillingdon, and regularly work across Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Essex, Sussex and Hampshire.

Both, plus industrial and infrastructure. We have delivered packages for schools, healthcare facilities, food production sites, Ministry of Defence estates and British Heritage sites, alongside commercial, residential and industrial developments.

Send the drawings, scope and the dates you need to hit. We will tell you quickly whether it is a job for us, arrange a site visit to check access, levels and ground conditions, and come back with a measured price and a realistic start date.

Yes, and most of our work is exactly that. We have run packages on operational schools during term time, live clinical estates, hygiene-critical food facilities and secure MoD sites, where vetting, phasing and access control shape the programme as much as the engineering does.

Yes. Our own crews, plant and supervision run the works, which is what stops the sequence stalling while you wait on another subcontractor to mobilise.
