Groundworks and civil engineering along the Jurassic Coast and surrounding towns and villages
West Dorset sits alongside the Dorset and East Devon coastline. Typically known as the Jurassic Coast, which UNESCO inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2001, the region brings real-world constraints for construction delivery, from access and levels to protecting surrounding routes and keeping work sites controlled in sensitive, high-footfall areas.
N&G Groundworks operates from Lyme Regis and delivers groundworks and civil engineering across Dorset, Devon and Somerset.
Priority services for West Dorset projects
Section 38 and 278 works | Sewer requisitions – Wessex Water approved | Foul and surface water drainage | Asphalt surfacing | External finishings
In West Dorset, projects often combine residential infrastructure with challenging site characteristics, including sloping plots, retaining requirements and water management that has to work across seasons. Our team delivers joined-up packages so foundations, drainage, road construction and external works progress as one coordinated scope.
Drainage delivered with approvals in mind
Sewer requisitions and drainage installation can involve multiple stakeholders, from designers and site teams to water authorities and local highway teams. As a Wessex Water-approved contractor for sewer requisitions, we support compliant delivery across Dorset as part of the wider South West coverage.
Recent projects in Bridport, Lyme Regis and West Dorset
Case Study
In Bridport, Highlands House required an initial retaining wall to enable the foundations and substructure works for a new house, garage and driveway package.
In Lyme Regis, Wagtail Cottages included demolition, reduce-level excavation, foundations, substructure blockwork to DPC, retaining walls, plot drainage, street works and a Section 106 sewer requisition, with structural waterproofing forming a key part of the delivery.
At Louma in Lyme Regis, the project’s key details included constant groundwater, structural waterproofing and maintaining uninterrupted access to a public right of way, which is the kind of interface that needs close site management and clean communication.

Road adoption and street works support across Dorset
For developments where adoptable highways form part of the scope, we deliver Section 38 and 278 works with a clear focus on compliance, inspections and delivering to specification so adoption can proceed smoothly.
Bring us in early for buildability and sequencing
If you are planning a project in West Dorset, share your drawings and constraints early. We will help define practical phasing, plan for approvals, and keep the groundworks package aligned with the wider programme.
