Lawless Civils are a privately owned, nationally focussed civil engineering company with extensive capabilities, machinery and experience. This wasn’t always the case though. Started by Seamus Lawless in 2002, the company began as three guys with a van, some equipment and high hopes.

Nearly two decades later and our small team that only dealt with basic groundworks are now supplying labour, plant and materials to residential and commercial contractors for contracts worth up to £3 million. Our capabilities have stretched from simple local drainage work to as wide-ranging as deep drainage, kerbing, roadwork, steel fixing and much more. However, we’re still able to take on smaller local contracts due to our reputation of being good value for money yet high quality, all while remaining punctual and safe in delivery.

We used to only serve our local community in Lincoln alongside some of the other surrounding areas. Now our resources allow us to serve the whole of England. As a result, we’ve done work as far as Middlesbrough to the north and Winchester to the south. Spreading our great work throughout the whole country fills us with pride. We’re aiming to keep expanding and keep spreading our positive influence throughout the country.

Our core values have remained the same since the day we started. They represent the way we conduct ourselves as a company on a daily basis. It’s what we stand for and it’s what our services contribute to the world we all live in. We completely honour these values and know that, if we continue to conduct ourselves inline with all four of them, we’ll keep thriving through providing more great service for decades to come.


The small starting team of three has expanded more than tenfold, with over 35 operatives working for the company. We are proud to have people working for us that are capable, skilled, hardworking and honest. Every team member plays an integral part in delivering the quality results we strive for in all the work we undertake.

Although we know we're stronger together, we’ve also made sure our company is made up of innovative minded individuals. Forward thinking individuals mixed with the company’s strong sense of togetherness makes for a tremendous team.


Team Qualities

We work with some of the largest homebuilders in the UK. These are just a selection of some of the companies we’ve worked with on projects within our country. We’ve helped to develop everything from a handful of houses to whole communities. Our diverse capabilities and high standards for small developments all the way through to our major contracts have led us to gain such credible clients. Building up our reputation since day one, other companies have come to associate us with always delivering a first-class service on time and for extremely competitive prices.
