CGL is a provider of expert advice and design solutions to ground-related issues for residential developers. We develop value-engineered solutions that often turn marginally viable developments on difficult sites into profitable opportunities.
Our Residential Sector Services
We work collaboratively with residential site developers as well as their design and construction teams. As independent geotechnical and geoenvironmental specialists, we can provide you with a technically detailed assessment and analysis and pragmatic recommendations unbiased by in-house and cross-selling interests. CGL has supported residential developers and their advisors in this way since we were established in 1994.
We apply our full range of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering skills to provide complete, and often unique, solutions to our client’s problems.
Since 1994, our expert team at CGL has been providing support to thousands of developers, landowners, and development projects, including:
- Private residential Developments
- Social Housing Developments
Our regional expertise enables us to guide you on local issues, for example, gypsum dissolution in Yorkshire, mining in the north and southwest, chalk in many areas, and deep basement projects in urban areas – especially London.
Residential Sector Processes
Our involvement includes:
- Initial Due Diligence And Feasibility Studies
- Identifying Liabilities And Development Constraints
- Investigation
- Design
- Construction Supervision
Sites for residential development may have historic contamination or have stability issues that need to be addressed for both safe development and to maximise asset values. In such cases, CGL’s experience in brownfield land development and remediation of contamination allows holistic ground solutions to be developed.
