Strathclyde (previously TC Groundworks Limited) was established in July 2014 by Scott Todd. He is passionate about providing cost effective solutions to new home builds in Christchurch. This focus enables you to have smart foundations on hill builds that leave some of your budget for other areas! Strathclyde’s experience along with Scott’s LBP in Foundations and Civil Engineering know-how means you get a quality new home that hasn’t broken the budget before it even gets out of the ground.

The journey started to undertake civil construction and landscaping works in the Christchurch area. Moved by his drive to continue learning and take on challenging projects, Scott quickly directed the company into earthquake repairs and re-levelling works.

When we moved into building works, our clients were so happy with the quality of our work and our practical problem-solving abilities, they consequently asked us to carry out their home renovations and extensions. Our attention to detail, exceptional workmanship and passion for challenge has lead to our most recent progression into architectural building.

We take care of the entire project, from the design stage throughout construction and project management. We offer a full “start to finish” package including a combination of building, earthworks and landscaping crews.

Our director Scott takes pride in his outstanding ability to solve complex issues with creative and practical ideas. We excel in challenging and complex projects. Since 2014, Scott has worked hard to recruit a well-skilled, professional and knowledgeable team. 70% of our team has 18 years + experience in the industry. Combined we have a great depth of experience both in NZ and abroad.

Our multidisciplinary team gives Strathclyde great versatility in the work we can undertake. With this versatility comes the advantage of being able to carry out successfully a broad range of works encompassing building, civils, earthworks and landscaping. At Strathclyde, we take great pride in our work. We focus on providing a professional experience for our customers. Accountability and reliability are at the heart of Strathclyde’s key values, and every team member works hard to live by these values on the job. We believe that transparent communication is paramount to every successful project and relationship. Strathclyde will constantly keep you updated on the progress of your build.

You will gain access to our project management software to check live progress, ask questions, and keep all information and communication in one handy location. We take health and safety very seriously. We work in partnership with a Health and Safety Consultant to uphold and maintain our health and safety standards. Our team is committed to ensuring a safe work environment throughout all projects at all times.
