Our Civil Engineering Services – Excellence, Delivered

For more than 50 years, Natta Building Company has established itself as a trusted civil engineering contractor, delivering technically demanding infrastructure and substructure solutions throughout the South of England and the Home Counties. Our experience spans diverse sectors, including residential and commercial developments, to highways, utilities, renewable energy and external works, providing clients with a full-service civil engineering capability and a “can-do” attitude that delivers on time and to specification.

Natta’s services include:

Roads and infrastructure construction

Section 278 Highways and drainage works

Reinforced concrete and retaining structures

Utility coordination and service diversions

Flood prevention and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS)

Temporary works design and earthworks management

Our engineers use digital design tools, 3D modelling, and advanced data systems to plan, monitor, and control every stage of delivery.

Our Civil Engineering Solutions

At Natta, we bring in-house engineering, design, surveying and plant capacity to deliver complex civil engineering packages with precision and pace. Our expertise includes substructures, offering complex basement construction and both piled and traditional foundations across sectors, including healthcare, education, hotels and residential. We specialise in value-engineering foundation solutions to de-risk unknown site conditions and optimise client cost outcomes.

Our scope also extends into drainage and infrastructure works. We manage installations of pipes up to 1,800 mm diameter at depths of up to 10 m, delivering works in challenging ground conditions, including wet ground, peat or contaminated soil. This capability includes SuDS solutions, crate systems, GRP tanks, in-situ concrete attenuation and open balancing ponds or swales.

Furthermore, we provide comprehensive external works and highways packages. We deliver Section 278 and Section 38 infrastructure roads, sewers, services, hard and soft landscaping. Using our directly-employed labour force and plant fleet, we are equipped to mobilise quickly and maintain programme certainty across live or adjacent operations.

Quality, Safety & Built for the Future

Natta operates under a fully integrated management system certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. This approach ensures that quality, environmental responsibility, and health & safety are embedded at every stage. Our modern plant and equipment, coupled with advanced digital tools, such as Trimble 3D machine control and ground-penetrating radar, support high accuracy, minimise waste and optimise programme performance.

We believe that delivering sustainable infrastructure means more than meeting immediate project requirements. It involves applying smart procurement, material reuse, low-carbon plant utilisation and thoughtful design interventions that result in long-term value. This commitment to quality and sustainability is reflected in our repeat business; over 80% of our work is won through client re-engagement.

Trusted Experience in Action

Natta’s deliverables are proven across major landmark projects. For example, we undertook the full design and construction of extensive Section 278 highway improvements, including a major roundabout and significant junction upgrades at the intersection of Rusper Road and the A264 in North Horsham. In addition to the junction upgrades, another major feature was the installation of a 52-metre Vierendeel-style footbridge. North Horsham is a high-profile project where we worked in a live environment, delivering high-quality infrastructure in partnership with local authorities and third-party housebuilders.
