Civil Contractors Ireland — FAQs

What does a civil contractor in Ireland do?

A civil contractor delivers the below-ground and infrastructure stage of a project — site clearance, bulk excavation, groundworks, foundations, drainage, ducting, concrete works, roads and hard standings — handing a site over to the main build team at a certified, engineer-approved level.

Do Rayco Civils work nationwide across Ireland?

Yes. We are based at Unit 6, Cullentra Lane, Monamolin, Co. Wexford and operate on projects in all 26 counties, with the heaviest coverage in Wexford, Wicklow, Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford, Dublin, Kildare and Cork.

What size of civils projects do you take on?

Everything from a single private dwelling foundation to multi-unit residential developments, commercial yards, industrial slabs and civil engineering packages for main contractors.

Are you insured and certified?

Rayco Civils is fully insured, works to Safe-T-Cert aligned safety systems, and all foundations, drainage and concrete works are laid to engineer specification with certification on completion.

How much do civil works cost in Ireland?

Cost depends on ground conditions, dig depth, muck-away volumes and the specified build-up. We price from drawings or a site visit and issue a fixed, itemised quotation — usually within a few working days.

How quickly can you start on site?

We hold our own plant and operators, so mobilisation is typically within 1–3 weeks depending on the programme. Call 087 919 2193 to check current availability.
