Managing multiple contractors across the development process can often create gaps. Planning submissions stall when engineering and design teams don’t communicate and by the time you know there’s a problem, you’ve lost weeks.
Cornerstone Group brings all the site development services you need into one comprehensive project, reducing the number of handovers and removing blockers from your programme to keep everything on track.
Our experienced team works across commercial, healthcare, leisure, industrial, retail and education. We’re based in the North West but are able to take on projects UK wide.
You need a robust site development plan in place before any ground is broken. We assess everything from drainage, grading, erosion control, accessibility and environmental impact, creating a site strategy that keeps your programme compliant.
We’ll prepare your site for construction by removing trees, stumps, shrubs and any other debris to the tolerances of your project. You’ll be left with a clean, stable surface for the development work.
Before you can build on any ground, we’ll test the surface and subsurface soil composition to understand its stability and uncover any risk factors to figure out the foundation type your development needs.
We level your site and carry out any excavation that’s needed to prepare the soil for drainage gradients to prevent any water management problems later in the development.
New connections and diverting utilities can be one of the most common reasons for developments stalling if they’re not planned in from the start. We work closely with civil and structural teams to make sure every utility service you need is ready when your project needs them.
If your development has net zero targets or sustainability requirements we’ll factor this in at the planning stage to make sure it’s taken into account. Our experience in commercial solar and energy storage means we’re well placed to advise on your most viable option within your project scope and budget.
We deliver site development services and projects across a wide range of sectors for commercial and public sector partners. We understand that each industry or development type brings its own planning challenges and compliance requirements and our experience ensures we’re prepared to handle whatever your development throws our way.
We deliver civil engineering, structural design, utilities and project management in one programme. You don’t have to manage multiple contractors and can remove one of the biggest reasons for site development project delays.
We build all net zero and sustainability requirements into your programme from day one. With 40+ years experience and particular expertise in solar energy and storage we’re able to deliver projects within decarbonisation restrictions.
We operate from Manchester and Preston, with direct experience of local planning requirements and conditions along with UK wide infrastructure requirements. We’re able to deliver high levels of compliance across all our projects.
From your initial consultation with us we’ll set realistic expectations and give you an honest take on what’s feasible for your planned programme.
What does site development involve?
Site development services cover everything needed to prepare and develop land for construction, from initial site assessment and planning to civil engineering, structural design, utilities and project management. The exact project scope will depend on the type of project, existing site conditions and any planning or regulatory compliance requirements, for example any considerations for the impact on local communities.
What are the risks of poor site development?
Poorly planned developments can get you in to all kinds of problems like delays to permits, liability risks, safety violations, increased costs and reworks and missed deadlines. Our site development consultancy services ensure every detail is thought through and planned out to avoid any of these problems.
