Frequently asked
How do I find groundworks jobs before they go to tender?
The planning application is the earliest public signal. Set a free alert on the groundworks tag for your region and new matches arrive each morning.
Which applications carry a groundworks package?
New-build housing, commercial units, car parks, roads and drainage schemes usually do. Conservatories and internal alterations usually do not. SiteLens tags each application with the trades it implies.
Can I see public groundworks contracts too?
Yes. Public-sector tenders and contract awards from Contracts Finder and Find a Tender show near each site and can go in your daily alert, free on every plan.
