What I do

Turn technical ground information into decisions people can price.

A Site Investigation (SI) or Ground Investigation (GI) report can run to hundreds of pages. It may describe the ground accurately without explaining what it means for plant, material movements, tender qualifications, programme or cost.

Ground & Commercial Advisory reviews the information already available, identifies the gaps and converts it into practical, evidence-led advice for groundworks and civil engineering contractors at tender and pre-start stage.
