Frequently asked questions
How do I know what work my site needs before building?
We can arrange a site visit to assess your property and discuss your plans. From there, we recommend the appropriate excavation, site preparation, drainage or retaining solutions. If you already have plans or engineering drawings, we can review them and provide an accurate quote based on your project requirements.
How long does residential excavation or site preparation take?
Timeframes vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, site access and weather conditions. Smaller residential jobs such as driveway preparation or minor excavation can often be completed within a few days, while full site cuts or complex drainage works may take longer. We provide clear timelines before starting and keep you informed throughout the project.
Do you handle drainage and retaining walls as part of site preparation?
Yes. Proper drainage and retaining structures are often essential for residential sites, especially on sloping blocks. We can install stormwater drainage, trench drains and retaining walls to ensure your property is stable, functional and ready for construction or landscaping.
Do you manage soil removal and disposal?
Yes. We handle soil excavation, removal and disposal in accordance with local regulations. If suitable, some excavated material can be reused on site for levelling or landscaping. We will advise you on the most cost-effective option during quoting.
What access do you need for machinery?
Access requirements depend on the scope of work and the size of machinery needed. We use a range of equipment suited to residential blocks, including tight-access machinery for smaller sites. During the site visit, we assess access points and recommend the safest and most efficient approach.
Can you coordinate with other trades on site?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with builders, plumbers, concreters and landscapers to ensure works are completed in the right sequence. Good coordination helps prevent rework, delays and additional costs during construction.
