About This Service
Professional Groundworks Across Ipswich
All groundworks are backed by a workmanship guarantee and manufacturer warranties where applicable, providing long-term protection and regulatory compliance. RB CONSTRUCTION LTD prepares plots across Ipswich for building projects, driveways and gardens with careful site clearance, precision excavation and robust drainage. With 40 years' experience and a single dedicated onsite tradesman per project, expect meticulous, compliant bases engineered to perform for decades.
How It Works
1. Site Survey & Specification
A qualified tradesman visits the plot to record levels, locate services, assess soils and agree the scope. We produce a clear specification covering excavation depth, drainage strategy and compliance checks.
2. Excavation, Drainage & Subbase
Careful excavation to specified levels, installation of drains, soakaways or SUDS components, and placement of engineered subbases and membranes to achieve a compliant formation.
3. Testing, Certification & Handover
Compaction tests and drainage inspections are completed, any manufacturer warranties registered, and we hand over written sign-off with guidance on aftercare and warranty protection.
Why Choose us for Groundworks?
Four decades of hands-on groundworks means confident detailing and proven construction sequencing, reducing risk to foundations, driveways and landscaping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Timescales depend on scope, access and weather. A straightforward driveway or garden formation can be completed in a few days, while more complex plots requiring deep foundations, soakaways or services diversion take longer. We provide a clear programme after the site survey.
What Our Customers Say
View all reviews“I can recommend Robbie and his team for building works.
The new window opening was cut out and the new lintel installed in a professional manner.
Care was taken to protect existing walls and the team paid a lot of attention to get the best possible match for the new bricks and mortar to blend into the existing, as you will see in the photograph!
Works were completed on time to our satisfaction”

“
When we were planning to convert our integral garage to a utility room, toilet and shower, a friend recommended Robbie.
He was very helpful with ideas at the planning stage. When we decided to proceed his team were most helpful, understanding and polite.
They were with us every day of the project and we were very pleased with the end result.
Thoroughly recommended.”
Dave and Anne
“We’re absolutely delighted with the work carried out on one of our bedrooms. The team did a brilliant job from start to finish, including thermally boarding and plastering the room, adding panelling, rehanging the door and installing the radiator.
The workmanship was excellent, and we were particularly impressed by how neat and tidy everything was left at the end of every day. They were also very responsive, helpful and a pleasure to have working in our home.
We will absolutely be using them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional local building company.”
