Drainage connections and surveys
New builds and extensions often need a connection to the main drain or sewer. A drainage survey can map existing runs and confirm connection points. We coordinate groundworks with drainage design so connections are in the right place and built correctly.
Most teams review drainage connections and surveys when live project risk needs turning into a clear technical decision with practical next steps.
