Site-led insight for confident project planning

PRELIMINARY MEETING

Relationships MATTER

For many decades, our company has worked with farm businesses across the UK with many of our clients being repeat customers – who have worked with our business many times before.

We believe that the relationship we have with our clients is very important and as a result, we look forward to our site meetings for each and every project we deliver.

A successful scheme starts with listening, understanding the land, and agreeing the brief before any design work begins.

Will Mitchell, Senior Contracts Manager, William Morfoot Ltd.
The Purpose of our Preliminary Meeting:

A PRELIMINARY MEETING
built around YOUR LAND and YOUR PRIORITIES

Our preliminary meeting collects essential information, including:

Understanding Your Requirements

Meeting you, our client, to understand your expectations and requirements for the field in detail, including scheme considerations, budgetary parameters and other points that matter to you.

Local Drainage Knowledge

Gaining local, on-the-ground understanding from you about how the field may have been previously drained, including ditch flow directions and wider drainage arrangements.

Existing Utilities and Constraints

Understanding whether there are any existing buried utilities or services that could influence the works.

Existing Drainage Information

Obtaining copies of any existing land drainage maps that may affect the scheme proposal.

Soil Types and Behaviour

Understanding your knowledge of the soil types within the field and how they perform under different conditions.

Access and Site Practicalities

Confirming access arrangements, identifying suitable areas for stockpiling materials, and capturing any other local knowledge that may influence the way the scheme is designed.
