Building the Structure for Ambition
Kingsheath Construction has a specialist division dedicated to the delivery of high-quality reinforced concrete (RC) frames. As a leading RC frame contractor, we provide a seamless, integrated service that combines groundworks and superstructure construction. This single-source solution offers our clients significant programme and commercial advantages, ensuring a coordinated and efficient build from the ground up.
Our expertise extends from complex basements and substructures to multi-storey superstructures. We leverage technical skill, modern formwork systems, and a highly trained workforce to deliver structures of exceptional quality, accuracy, and durability for clients across Kent and the South East.
Our RC Frame Services
We deliver a comprehensive RC frame package, managed by our in-house team of experts.
Reinforced Concrete Substructures
We specialise in the construction of all below-ground concrete elements. This includes retaining walls, complex basements, lift pits, and pile caps, all built with precision to form a solid and reliable base for the structure above.
Reinforced Concrete Superstructures
Our teams are skilled in the construction of multi-storey RC frames, including columns, walls, slabs, and stair cores. We deliver the complete structural shell, providing the speed, strength, and fire resistance that makes concrete the material of choice for so many developments.
Formwork, Reinforcement & Concreting (FRC)
We manage the full FRC package. This involves the design and erection of modern, efficient formwork systems, the intricate fixing of steel reinforcement to engineering specifications, and the expert placement and finishing of high-grade concrete.

Expertise, Precision, and Programme-Focus
Your Partner for High-Performance Concrete Structures in the South East
The successful delivery of an RC frame depends on meticulous planning, technical expertise, and an unwavering focus on safety. Our service is defined by:
- Integrated Delivery: By offering both groundworks and RC frame services, we provide a seamless transition from substructure to superstructure. This eliminates coordination gaps, improves programme efficiency, and provides a single point of responsibility.
- Technical Excellence: Our in-house engineering and management teams possess deep technical knowledge of concrete frame construction. They ensure that every structure is built precisely to the design drawings and structural specifications.
- Quality Assurance: We implement rigorous quality control procedures at every stage, from checking reinforcement schedules to monitoring concrete pours and cube testing. This ensures the finished structure is fully compliant and built to last.
- A Culture of Safety: Constructing frames at height requires an absolute commitment to safety. Our teams operate under strict safety protocols for working at height, managing plant, and coordinating pours, all overseen by our full-time Health and Safety Director.
Why choose an RC frame for my building?
Reinforced concrete frames are extremely durable, fire-resistant, and provide excellent acoustic insulation. Their thermal mass can also contribute to a building's energy efficiency. They are versatile and ideal for creating a robust structure for buildings of all types, from residential blocks to commercial offices.
What formwork systems do you use?
We use a variety of modern, proprietary formwork systems chosen to best suit the project's requirements for speed, quality, and finish. This includes panel systems for walls and soffit systems for slabs, ensuring an efficient and safe construction process.
How do you ensure the structural integrity of the frame?
Structural integrity is guaranteed through strict adherence to the structural engineer's design. We conduct thorough checks on reinforcement placement before any concrete is poured, and we carry out systematic testing of the concrete's strength to ensure it meets the required specification.
Can you manage a project with a tight deadline?
Yes. Our integrated service model is designed for efficiency. By managing the entire substructure and superstructure package, we can optimise the construction sequence and resource allocation to meet even the most demanding project programmes.
