Managing Director James Roberts has over 25 years’ experience in commercial archaeology having worked on a wide range of projects from small scale developments to large scale infrastructure. As a smaller unit, we think size really does matter. We can be competitive on price, offer a personal service and work to the highest professional standards without compromising on the quality of the projects we undertake. We pride ourselves on our ability to be flexible when it comes to meeting the needs of our clients whatever the size of the project or development.
Matrix Planning has commissioned Groundworks Archaeology for a number of sizeable projects in recent years, ranging from desk-based assessments to evaluations. James is always happy to help at short notice and is highly enthusiastic. He is realistic and readily understands project constraints.
We have found him to be very knowledgeable about the planning application process when it comes to addressing archaeological conditions. He has liaised on our behalf with the various planning authorities to establish the parameters of the works required, thus ensuring that we were able to comply with the conditions without incurring significant costs or delays.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone else undertaking a development project, whatever its size or scale."

Projects can take ages to conclude, and James is able to retain sincere interest over time (which really does help!). I would heartily recommend him.
