Real estate development
Feasibility support, phased construction and delivery of residential and commercial schemes from raw land to occupation.
What SKK Consultant builds
Twelve service lines that cover a project from the first trial pit to the final planting bed — without handing your site over to a new contractor halfway through.
Service 01
Excavation & earthworks
Bulk cut and fill, trenching, basement digs and site clearance. Our own machines and operators, so mobilisation does not wait on a hire yard.
We plan the earthworks around the material balance first. Moving spoil twice is the most common hidden cost on a project, so we set the haul routes and stockpile locations before anything tracks onto site.
What this covers
- Site clearance and topsoil strip
- Bulk cut and fill to formation level
- Basement and foundation excavation
- Service and drainage trenching
- Rock breaking and removal
- Compaction and platform testing
Service 02
Cabro & paving
Interlocking blocks, kerbs, channels and edge restraints for driveways, walkways, yards and commercial parking areas.
Most failed cabro is a base problem, not a block problem. We build the sub-base to the loading it will actually see, get the falls right so water leaves the surface, and restrain every edge — which is why our yards are still flat after several rainy seasons.
What this covers
- Sub-base design and compaction
- Interlocking cabro to pattern
- Kerbs, channels and edge restraint
- Heavy-duty yard and parking areas
- Walkways and pedestrian surfaces
- Surface falls and drainage tie-in
Service 03
Site surveying
Topographic survey, boundary verification, setting out, level control and as-built records — in-house, on our own programme.
An error in the setting out multiplies through every trade that follows it. Our survey team establishes the control network before mobilisation and re-checks it at each major stage, so the frame lands where the drawings say it should.
What this covers
- Topographic and contour survey
- Control network establishment
- Setting out for structures and roads
- Level and verticality checks
- Volume calculations for earthworks
- As-built drawings and handover records
Service 04
Soil testing & site investigation
Trial pits, sampling, classification and bearing capacity assessment — so foundations get designed against real ground, not assumed ground.
Investigation is the cheapest week on any project. A soft layer found in a trial pit costs a foundation redesign; the same layer found after the slab is poured costs the building. We report what we find plainly, including when it is inconvenient.
What this covers
- Trial pits and sample recovery
- Soil classification and profiling
- Bearing capacity assessment
- Compaction and density testing
- Groundwater observation
- Written report with foundation guidance
Service 05
Building construction
Foundations, reinforced concrete frames, blockwork, roofing and finishes for residential, commercial and institutional buildings.
We run building work as a sequence of hold points rather than a race to the roof. Reinforcement is inspected before every pour and the following trade only starts once the previous one is signed off — which is what keeps the finishes clean at the end.
What this covers
- Strip, pad and raft foundations
- Reinforced concrete frames and slabs
- Blockwork, brickwork and partitions
- Structural steel erection
- Roofing and external envelope
- Internal finishes and snagging
Service 06
Road construction & drainage
Access roads, estate roads and haul routes — formation, sub-base, base course, surfacing and the drainage that keeps them serviceable.
A road fails at its edges and its drainage long before the surface wears out. We build the shoulders and the storm channels as part of the same package, so water leaves the carriageway instead of sitting under it.
What this covers
- Road formation and subgrade preparation
- Sub-base and base course laying
- Surfacing and shoulder construction
- Storm channels and side drains
- Culverts and cross drainage
- Manholes, gullies and outfalls
Also on the books
Six more service lines available on the same contract.
Civil engineering
Retaining structures, culverts, hardstandings and the infrastructure that ties a site into its surroundings.
Drainage systems
Storm and sub-soil drainage, channels, soakaways and outfalls sized against real catchment, not rules of thumb.
Structural works
Reinforcement fixing, formwork, concrete placement and steel erection as a standalone package for other main contractors.
Project management
Programme, procurement, subcontractor coordination, cost tracking and weekly progress reporting to the client.
Landscaping & external works
Final grading, retaining, planting beds, walkways and boundary works that finish a property properly.
How we work
Five stages, in this order, every time.
Site visit
We walk the ground, look at access and take the constraints seriously before quoting anything.
Investigation
Survey and soil testing establish what is actually there, so the design is built on measurements.
Programme & price
A sequence with real production rates, a fixed scope and a price you can hold us to.
Construction
Works run against hold points with weekly progress reporting and photographs.
Handover
Snagging closed out, as-built drawings issued and test records handed over as one pack.
