About us

We’ve been laying foundations for the future since 1987.

Founded as a small family-run business, we’ve grown into a well-established, specialist groundworks company, proudly serving London and the surrounding areas. Over the years, we’ve built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality work with professionalism, precision, and a genuinely collaborative spirit..

We specialise in all aspects of groundworks and civil engineering, including demolition, excavations, reinforced concrete sub-structures and super-structures, external works, paving, and both hard and soft landscaping. Our experience spans a wide variety of sectors and environments, and we widely recognised for our ability  to successfully deliver complex and technically demanding projects that require a high level of coordination, expertise, and attention to detail.

Building for Tomorrow:
Trust, Safety, Sustainability and Heritage Excellence

Clients trust Realtime not only for our capability but for our non-confrontational approach. We believe in working openly and cooperatively with clients, consultants, and other contractors to solve problems efficiently and keep projects moving forward smoothly. Our aim is always to build long-term relationships based on trust and mutual respect.

We’re also proud of our ability to deliver sensitive works on prestigious and heritage buildings, where care, discretion, and exacting standards are essential.

Our commitment to health and safety is unwavering, forming the foundation of our site culture and operational procedures. We operate under robust health and safety systems that are embedded into our daily operations, from planning through to project completion. Every project is approached with the highest standards of safety for our teams, our clients, and the public.

At the same time, we are deeply invested in sustainability. We actively seek to reduce our environmental impact through the use of low-carbon materials, efficient construction practices, and waste minimisation strategies. Our teams are trained to incorporate sustainable thinking into every phase of a project—from planning to delivery—ensuring we contribute positively to the communities and environments we help shape. We are continually exploring new technologies and innovations to enhance our sustainability performance.

At Realtime Civil Engineering, we bring together decades of experience, technical expertise, and a forward-thinking mindset. We’re not just building for today — we’re laying foundations for the future.
