Who we work for
The engineering is the same discipline everywhere; the constraints are not. Here's how our civil works packages change depending on who we're building for.
Rayco Civils delivers full substructure and infrastructure packages for residential developers across Ireland — from enabling works and estate roads through to plot-by-plot foundations that keep the build sequence moving.
View sectorCommercial substructure is governed by loadings, tolerances and programme. Rayco Civils delivers the below-ground and external works packages that commercial builders need — engineered sub-bases, reinforced slabs, heavy-duty drainage and trafficked external areas.
View sectorIndustrial sites put the highest demands on groundworks: heavy point loads, large impermeable areas, constant HGV traffic and floors that must stay flat under equipment for decades.
View sectorPublic sector civil works demand documentation, traffic management and public safety standards that go beyond a private site. Rayco Civils delivers road, footpath, drainage and site works packages with the RAMS, records and supervision that public clients require.
View sectorSchool and healthcare projects almost always happen on live campuses, with children, patients and staff present. That changes how civil works are planned: segregation, timing and dust and noise control matter as much as the engineering.
View sectorFarm civil works take a hammering: silage trailers, tankers and loaders on the same surfaces every day, in all weather. Agricultural concrete and roadways have to be built heavier than their domestic equivalents or they simply do not last.
View sectorEnergy and utility projects live or die on their civil works: if the access track will not carry the delivery, or the cable route is not trenched to programme, nothing else on site can proceed.
View sectorFor most people a self-build is the largest project they will ever commission, and groundworks is the stage where the money disappears fastest and the least is visible afterwards.
View sectorRayco Civils works as a civils subcontractor to builders and main contractors across Ireland, taking the substructure and external works package so your team can concentrate on the build above damp-proof course.
View sectorEngineers and architects need a contractor who builds what is drawn and can prove it. Rayco Civils works from the issued drawing set and specification, records what is achieved, and produces the information required at certification stage.
View sectorRetail and leisure schemes live or die on their external works. Rayco Civils delivers the car parks, service yards, drainage and hard standings that carry constant public and delivery traffic.
View sectorModular and offsite buildings are manufactured to fine tolerances, so the base they land on has to be right first time. Rayco Civils builds the platform, foundation, drainage and access needed for delivery day.
View sectorOffice and mixed-use schemes are usually built on constrained urban or edge-of-town sites where access, existing services and neighbouring buildings dictate how the civils package is sequenced.
View sectorHotel and hospitality projects combine a substantial building substructure with extensive external works — parking, arrival and set-down areas, service yards, bin stores and outdoor areas that guests actually use.
View sectorA steel or portal frame goes up quickly, but only if the bases are in the right place at the right level. Pad positions, holding-down bolt centres and base levels come from the frame supplier's setting-out drawing and have very little tolerance.
