FAQs

  • How much does excavation cost?

    It depends on the volume of material, ground conditions, site access and what happens to the spoil. Rock, tight access and long cartage distances add cost; good access and reusable spoil reduce it. We assess your site before quoting so there are no surprises.


  • Do you locate underground services before digging?

    Yes. Service location is part of our standard process on every job before excavation begins.


  • Can you work on tight-access or sloping sites?

    Yes. Tight-access residential blocks and sloping Barossa sites are our bread and butter. We match compact machinery to constrained sites and plan the works around your access.


  • Do you remove the spoil?

    We can remove spoil from site, reuse it for fill where suitable, or a combination of both   whatever work s best for your project and  and budget. Cartage is priced into your quote up front.
