Expert Earthworks & Enabling Works in Kent & the South East
Shaping the landscape to create the perfect platform for your construction project with efficiency, precision, and value.
Preparing the Ground for Success
Kingsheath Construction provides a comprehensive earthworks and enabling works service, critical for setting a project up for success. As a leading earthworks contractor in Kent, we manage the entire process of site preparation, from initial clearance and ground modelling to final platform readiness. Our expertise ensures that your site is prepared on time, within budget, and to the exact engineering specifications required.
We leverage a modern, GPS-guided fleet of plant and a highly skilled team to deliver optimised, cost-effective solutions that minimise waste and maximise the value of on-site materials, preparing a solid foundation for the subsequent construction phases.
A Foundation of Comprehensive Site Preparation
We offer an integrated package to prepare any site for development, no matter the scale or complexity.
Bulk Excavation
Our extensive fleet of excavators and dump trucks allows us to undertake large-scale bulk excavation projects with speed and precision. We handle the movement of vast quantities of soil and materials to reprofile sites according to detailed engineering designs.
Cut and Fill Operations
We specialise in intelligent cut and fill strategies, using advanced software to balance earthwork volumes across a site. This process of excavating material from one area and using it as fill in another minimises the need for costly off-site disposal and imported materials.
Material Processing
We can process and re-engineer site-won materials to make them suitable for use. Using crushers and screeners, we transform materials like rock and concrete into certified aggregates, promoting sustainability and delivering significant cost savings for our clients.
Waste Management
Our enabling works service includes the development of robust waste management plans. We focus on the principles of the waste hierarchy, prioritising reduction, reuse, and recycling to minimise the environmental impact and disposal costs associated with your project.

Your Partner for Value-Engineered Earthworks in the South East
Delivering successful earthworks projects requires a combination of specialist machinery, technical knowledge, and meticulous planning. Our service is defined by:
- Advanced Technology: We utilise the latest GPS machine control technology on our plant. This ensures unparalleled accuracy in achieving design levels, enhances productivity, and reduces the need for traditional setting-out.
- Value Engineering: Our experienced team reviews site plans to identify opportunities for value engineering, such as optimising cut and fill balance or maximising the reuse of materials to save our clients time and money.
- Safety and Control: All our operations are executed under strict safety protocols, overseen by our dedicated health and safety management. We ensure a safe, organised site from the very start of the project.
- Environmental Focus: We operate in full alignment with our ISO 14001 accreditation, carefully managing our works to protect the local environment, control dust and noise, and minimise our carbon footprint.
What are enabling works?
Enabling works are the preliminary activities required to prepare a site for construction. This can include site clearance, demolition, remediation, and the earthworks needed to create the required levels and ground profile for the new development.
How does GPS machine control benefit my project?
GPS machine control provides our plant operators with a real-time digital model of the site design. This allows them to excavate and level with extreme precision, leading to faster completion, reduced material wastage, and a higher quality finish.
Can you help reduce the amount of waste material taken off-site?
Absolutely. This is a core part of our service. Through careful planning and on-site material processing, we aim to reuse as much excavated material as possible, significantly reducing the financial and environmental costs of landfill disposal.
How do you manage earthworks on a large or complex site?
Large-scale projects are managed through detailed phasing plans and logistics coordination. Our experienced management team ensures that the earthworks are sequenced efficiently to meet the overall project programme, working collaboratively with other trades on site.
