New build sites in Poundbury run to a programme, not a wish list, and screed is usually the trade holding up everything behind it. We sequence plot by plot so your follow-on trades never sit idle.
Each plot is pumped, levelled and spike-rolled as its own visit, but priced and scheduled as part of one development-wide package, so you get a single point of contact across the whole Poundbury site rather than a new quote for every unit.
Most of our Poundbury jobs sit within 30 minutes of base, so site visits stay simple and pour days run to time. Poundbury sits Dorchester (1 mi), and we work the surrounding villages on the same week's diary.
New Build Screeding in Poundbury — how it works
Each plot is pumped, levelled and spike-rolled as its own visit, but priced and scheduled as part of one development-wide package, so you get a single point of contact across the whole Poundbury site rather than a new quote for every unit.
Output on a typical Poundbury plot run is several units per day depending on floor area and pump access, with our crew moving between plots as each pour cures under protection.

FAQs from Poundbury clients
Do you provide RAMS for a new build site in Poundbury?+
Yes, full RAMS, COSHH documentation and insurance details are issued ahead of mobilisation, formatted for your CDM principal contractor.
How do you hand over moisture readings on a multi-plot job?+
Each plot gets its own CM-test record and written sign-off, so your flooring contractor or NHBC inspector has a clear document per unit, not one blanket certificate for the site.
How many plots can you screed per day on a Poundbury development?+
It depends on floor area and pump access, but a typical crew moves through several plots a day on a standard housing scheme, with output agreed against your programme at the pre-start meeting.
Can you keep the same build-up across every plot?+
Yes, we agree the specification once with your architect or M&E consultant and repeat it consistently, so plot 1 and the last plot on the Poundbury site come out to the same depth and finish.
Do you price the whole Poundbury site or plot by plot?+
Both, most developers prefer a single development-wide package with a per-plot rate, so instructing extra plots later is straightforward and there's no re-quoting for every unit.
Can you scale up if the Poundbury programme accelerates?+
Yes, we can bring on additional pump capacity and crew for phases that need to move faster, provided we have reasonable notice to schedule it.

One agreed build-up, repeated consistently on every unit, with pressure-testing coordinated plot by plot.
