About Hardrock Groundworks
Premium groundworks and civil engineering contractor operating in Surrey and Hampshire.
Our Story
Hardrock Groundworks was founded by Jamie Campbell, a seasoned main contractor who has led a variety of construction projects including hospitals, schools, luxury residences, commercial properties and more.
He saw first-hand that the industry was lacking reliable and professional groundworks firms that deliver high standards of work, with health and safety at the forefront.
Hardrock Groundworks was born with the aim of setting a new bar in the industry. A premium groundworks firm providing exceptional services where every construction project has the best possible start, ahead of schedule and with a culture of professionalism in every step of the project.
We proudly serve Surrey, Hampshire and the surrounding areas.
Our Director
Jamie Campbell spent 15 years in main contracting after starting his career in groundworks. In his time as head of site, he managed the construction of several schools, hospitals, blocks of flats, offices and several large-scale luxury residential properties.
He holds a degree in English and Law, a Master's in Construction Senior Management and many vocational qualifications including CSCS Black Card and CPCS operator certifications. He is also a member of the Chartered Institute of Builders.
Moving from groundworks into main contracting and now returning, Campbell believes that if well-managed and high-quality work goes into the ground, a building contract has the best possible chance of success from the start.
Our Promise
Hardrock Groundworks approaches every job as a complete project. This means advanced planning that works in tandem with the main contract programme and an attention to detail that reduces costs, preempts issues and increases efficiency.
Our team is equipped with CSCS Black Cards, SMSTS, First Aid and MCIOB managers on site. Therefore, we can take on projects as principal contractor or seamlessly fit in with your existing programme.
Whatever role we play, we will take on a site, manage the difficult job of bringing your project out of the ground, and offer back a high quality, well set up and tidy facility that you can step into and complete. Let us do the dirty work.
Client Testimonials
" We chose to work with Jamie due to his expertise in the end to end management of the groundworks phase. He has been very helpful and proactive. The work has been completed to a very high standard, the site was kept tidy and there were no issues throughout the duration of the project. Communication has always been frequent, honest, quick and effective. I would absolutely hire him as our groundswork contractor again. "
Robin Gilchrist
Chairman - B&NHMRS
" I would 100% work with Jamie again. Very reliable groundworks contractor and willing to assist with resolving issues that came up on site. Dealing with costs was very transparent and a pleasure to work through. Communication throughout the job was all very good, both in person and on emails. There were numerous issues with drawing discrepancies, through no fault of their own, but the Hardrock team worked around these quickly and efficiently. "
James Funnell
Senior Quantity Surveyor - Bauvill
" We had a short window of time on our groundworks and resurfacing project. I contacted Jamie and within days he produced a thorough design that met our needs and our timeline. The ground was prepped and resurfaced in record time, which meant we were able to start earning money from the new yard almost immediately. Jamie is an expert groundworker and I'd gladly work with him again. "
Hugh Blandy
Owner - Dart Motor Storage
" We had a failed retaining wall which turned into a rather complex project, and Jamie was outstanding from day one. He gave us complete confidence with his cautious and professional, yet friendly approach, making sure everything was planned thoroughly before work began. It was clear immediately that he knew exactly what he was doing which gave us real peace of mind. We're absolutely delighted with the result and couldn't recommend Hardrock Groundworks highly enough. If you need groundworks done and want complete peace of mind, look no further. "
Jonathan L
Residential Client
" We recently had Jamie and the team at Hardrock Groundworks lay paving slabs and concrete next to our community centre, and they did a fantastic job! They were incredibly thorough from start to finish. Jamie was especially helpful, always happy to talk things through, explain what was happening, and problem-solve whenever something came up. Highly recommend them if you're looking for someone reliable, skilled, and easy to work with! "
