Persimmon Homes South East

Project Overview:

A large-scale groundworks and infrastructure project for one of the UK’s most prominent housebuilders. Kingsheath Construction was appointed by Persimmon Homes South East to deliver the comprehensive groundworks package for Bridgefield, a major new development of 178 homes in Ashford. The project involved a significant earthworks element and required a versatile approach to foundation construction across the large site.

Delivering Large-Scale Earthworks and Foundations

Our team was responsible for executing the full groundworks scope for this substantial residential scheme. The project began with a significant earthworks phase to prepare the site for development, followed by the installation of all necessary infrastructure and foundations. Our ability to manage large-scale earthmoving and mixed foundation types was critical to the project's success.

Key services delivered on this groundworks project included:

  • Earthworks: A major cut and fill earthworks operation to re-profile the site and create the required development platforms.
  • Mixed Foundation Solutions: Construction of substructures for all 178 units, utilising a combination of traditional trench-fill and specialist piled foundations to accommodate the varying ground conditions.
  • Roads and Sewers: Installation of all private and adoptable roads and sewer networks, constructed to the specifications required for local authority adoption.
  • External Works: Completion of all external works for the plots, including driveways, footpaths, and garden areas, to prepare the homes for finishing trades.

This project reinforces our position as a leading groundworks contractor in Ashford, with the capacity and expertise to deliver large, complex residential projects for major UK housebuilders.
