Who we are
A Civil Engineering Contractor Built Around the Programme
Established in 2010, Durkan & Sons has grown by delivering the work properly: clear planning, coordinated site delivery and accountability from start to completion.
Our teams undertake complete groundworks and civil engineering packages, including earthworks, deep drainage, foundations, roads and sewers, reinforced concrete, highways, infrastructure, utilities and external works.
We work with housebuilders, developers, principal contractors, local authorities, commercial clients and public sector organisations. Every project is approached with the same focus on safety, programme, quality and practical problem-solving.

From enabling works to completion
Built Around Practical Site Delivery
Successful civil engineering is not just about completing individual activities. It is about understanding how each operation affects access, follow-on trades, adoption requirements and the overall programme.
Our approach brings the package together so work is properly sequenced, interfaces are managed and progress remains visible.
