What Groundworkers Really Need From a Waterproofing Supplier (And Where Most Fall Short)

If you're a groundworker managing a live site today, you're likely juggling three things at once:

Tight deadlines. Complex detailing. And a big red target on your back when it comes to accountability under The Building Safety Act. 

You're not just laying waterproofing systems. You're carrying the risk. One wrong detail, one delay... and it's your reputation on the line. 

So, when it comes to waterproofing suppliers, what do groundworkers need most? 

We asked. And the answers were brutally honest. 

What Groundworkers Say They Need - And Aren't Getting 

Through recent customer feedback, one theme came through loud and clear: support matters more than product. 

The most common frustrations? 

• Slow technical response times

• No on-site presence 

• Hard to reach the right people 

• Poor training resources 

These aren't small gaps. They directly affect install quality, timelines and Building Safety Act compliance.
