Bulk Excavation

We bring whole sites down to the design level for townhouses, apartments, subdivisions, commercial builds and car parks. We work from your engineering levels, check as we go and cart the spoil away in the same job. Going deep? See basement excavation.

Site Cuts

We cut sloping blocks back to a flat, level pad for new homes, duplexes and extensions. Batters, drainage and neighbouring footings are planned in from the start, so your builder gets a pad that passes inspection.

Cut and Fill

We move soil from the high side of your block to build up the low side. Less soil leaves site, so you pay for fewer truckloads.

Levelling and Grading

We shape the ground to the right falls for slabs, driveways, hardstands, sheds and landscaping, so water drains away from the building.

Site Clearing

We clear vegetation, old concrete, rubble and topsoil so earthworks can start on a clean site. Need trees removed first? We also offer tree removal.

Soil and Concrete Removal

Already have a pile of soil or broken concrete on site? We’ll load it and cart it away, even if someone else did the digging. See details below.

Bulk excavation is the large-scale removal of soil and rock to bring a whole site down to its formation level, the level on your engineering drawings where slabs, footings and basements begin. It’s the first stage of earthworks on most development sites, and it sets the pace for everything after it.

We carry out bulk excavation for:

• ✓Townhouse and duplex developments
• ✓Apartment buildings with car parks and lower levels
• ✓Subdivisions and new residential lots
• ✓Commercial and industrial sites, including warehouses and hardstands
• ✓Large residential builds and knockdown rebuilds on sloping blocks

We own the trucks. The excavator loads, the truck leaves, and the next one is already on its way. No idle machines and no waiting on a hire company.

We allow for swell upfront. Soil takes up 10 to 50 percent more space once it’s dug. We price the real number of truckloads, so your quote doesn’t jump halfway through the job.

You get proof of disposal. In NSW, the owner of the waste can be held responsible if it’s dumped illegally. We classify every load, keep clean soil separate from rubble, and give you tip dockets for all of it.

One team from demolition to handover. We can demolish the existing house, then cut, level and clear the site. One quote, one contact and no gap between trades.

Ground type changes the numbers. Clay and broken sandstone swell far more than sand once dug, so they fill more trucks. Clean natural soil can often be reused, while mixed fill costs more to dispose of. We check what’s in the ground before we quote.

Classified, reused or disposed of properly. Every load is classified under NSW EPA rules. Clean material goes to reuse where possible, and everything else goes to a licensed facility. You get tip dockets for every load.

The right truck for your street. Rigid tippers suit narrow streets and steep driveways. Truck and dog combinations suit open sites, where bigger loads bring the cost down.

Just need a pile gone? Send us photos of the material and the access, and we’ll quote to load and cart it away.

Suspect asbestos? Don’t disturb it. Our asbestos removal team will assess it first.

Site visit. We check access, ground conditions and your plans.

Fixed-price quote. Machines, trucks, swell and disposal are all included in writing.

Site setup. Fencing, sediment controls and a Before You Dig Australia check go in first.

Earthworks. We cut, fill, compact and level to design, checking levels as we go.

Cart away. Spoil is classified and trucked to the right facility.

Handover. Your site is left at level and ready for your builder.

Before we dig

• Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) search to locate gas, power, water and telecommunications services
• Safe Work Method Statements for all high-risk work, including excavation deeper than 1.5 metres
• Site-specific risk assessment, covering access, ground conditions, overhead powerlines and neighbouring structures
• Engineer and geotech input on deep cuts, batters and retaining

On site

• Exclusion zones around working machines, with trained spotters where needed
• Batters, benching or shoring on cut faces where required, to engineer specs
• Daily pre-start checks on machines and the site
• Level checks as we go, so the work is right the first time

Protecting neighbours and the street

• Care around boundary footings, fences and walls, with dilapidation reports arranged before work starts where required
• Dust suppression with water carts or sprays
• Noise and vibration management, working within council-approved hours
• Traffic control for trucks entering and leaving busy streets

Protecting the environment

• Sediment fencing and stabilised site entries to keep soil out of stormwater drains and off the road
• Covered loads on every truck
• Lawful disposal to licensed facilities or approved reuse sites, with dockets for every load

Trucks on the road

• Load limits and restraint managed under the Heavy Vehicle National Law
• Licensed, experienced drivers who know Sydney’s tight streets and council work zones
