Every Great Build Starts Below Ground - Get Your Foundations Right
You can't see groundwork once it's covered up, but it's the most important part of any building project. Get it wrong, and you'll have problems for years. Get it right, and everything else falls into place.
At Built by Contract Ltd, we specialise in groundworks, concrete foundations, and drainage installations in Leicester and Leicestershire - the unglamorous stuff that makes everything else possible. We've been doing it for over 20 years, and we do it properly.
Our experienced groundwork team handles it all: excavation, footings, drainage, soakaways, retaining walls, and concrete slabs. Whether it's a new build, an extension, or major structural work, we make sure your project sits on firm, level, and fully compliant foundations.
We also take care of underground drainage installation and repairs, connecting everything safely and efficiently to meet modern Building Regulations. With our own equipment and skilled operators, we keep projects moving and on budget - no waiting around for subcontractors.
Built by Contract Ltd is known for reliability, precision, and doing things right the first time - which matters massively when you're working below ground. We coordinate with architects, engineers, and Building Control to guarantee accuracy and long-term stability.
Looking for professional groundwork contractors in Leicester or need rock-solid concrete foundations you can trust? Contact Built by Contract Ltd today. We build from the ground up - literally - making sure every project is safe, solid, and ready for whatever comes
Single Story Extension in Western Park, Leicester
BuiltByContract
"Branni and his team worked for us on a single storey extension to our 1930’s semi. The quality of his work was superb and we could not have been more pleased. Branni listened carefully to our requests, but also suggested ideas and modifications that enhanced the build. He worked around all problems and obviously takes great pride in his work.
The team we’re all friendly, considerate, hardworking, punctual and polite.
I would highly recommend Built by Contract."
