Bulk excavation and earthmoving

Cut and fill, batters, levelling, basements and under slab work. The plant is sized to the volume and the access, which on a lot of Sydney sites are pulling in opposite directions. Getting that balance right is the difference between a job that runs and a job that stalls.

Site preparation and clearing

Stripping, grubbing, breaking out and clearing so the trades behind us start on a clean site. That includes slab and structure break out, vegetation and debris clearing, and getting levels close enough that the next trade is not correcting our work before they start theirs.

Footings, piers and retaining

Pads, footings, trenches and sub base prepared to level and ready for the concreter. Pier holes bored to depth for footings, underpinning and structural support. Retaining structures excavated and built where the level change needs holding.

Common questions

Do you take on commercial sites as well as residential?
Yes. The work covers residential and light commercial sites. Send through the scope and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit for it.
Can you handle the whole site, not just the dig?
Yes. Site preparation, clearing, breaking out, footings, piering, drainage preparation and retaining walls are all part of what we do, so the site is handed over ready for the next trade.
Do you do the engineering and certification?
No. Where a job needs engineering design, certification or a formal report we work to what the engineer specifies. We build to it, they certify it.
How far ahead do you book?
We schedule work properly and give you a start date rather than running same day jobs. Tell us your program early and we will be straight with you about what we can commit to.
