When you might need Section 278 Contractor

Most projects start with a practical problem: recurring faults, visible deterioration, or uncertainty about the right method before committing to work.

The same service is often used during new-build and major refurbishment phases, where design choices, planning requirements, and site conditions affect what can be done safely and efficiently. In decision-stage terms, this is often where teams move from broad options into method selection, sequencing, and budget alignment.

Whether the priority is compliance, stability, or restoring normal operation quickly, early scoping usually prevents avoidable delays and rework.

How the service works

Delivery is structured so scope, dependencies, and sign-off stay clear from the first assessment through to handover.

  1. Step 1: Approval drawings and scope review

    What this step delivers: Delivery scope, method, and sequencing are agreed before operational work starts.

  2. Step 2: TM and phasing plan

    What this step delivers: Delivery scope, method, and sequencing are agreed before operational work starts.

  3. Step 3: Highway works delivery

    What this step delivers: Core works are completed in line with site constraints and project priorities.

  4. Step 4: Testing, records and authority handover

    What this step delivers: Completion is validated with clear sign-off and next-step guidance.

We deliver Section 278 highway works where developments require off-site connections, junction improvements, footways and carriageway adjustments to the public network. Scopes are planned around highway authority approvals, traffic management and tie-ins to your wider roads-and-sewers programme.
