Question 1

What size machines do you operate?

Accepted Answer

We run a fleet to suit any residential or commercial job — a 1.7-tonne mini excavator for tight-access work, a 14-tonne mid-size excavator for general site cuts and trenches, and a 17-tonne excavator for bulk earthmoving. We also carry mini dig gear and attachments so we can match the machine to the site, not the other way around.

Question 2

Can you get into tight or restricted-access sites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our 1.7-tonne mini excavator is built for narrow side gates, established gardens, and backyards with limited access. It's small enough to fit through a standard gate but still powerful enough to dig footings, trenches, and small pool digs without tearing up the surrounding area.

Question 3

What excavation work do you do?

Accepted Answer

All of it — site cuts and level pads, foundation and footing trenches, driveway and path sub-base, sewer and stormwater trenches, septic and absorption trenches, rock breaking and removal, levelling and compaction, and final grade clean-up. If it involves moving earth on a residential block, we handle it.

Question 4

Do you do the concreting as well?

Accepted Answer

We do. We handle every concreting need a residential build calls for — house and garage slabs, driveways and carports, footings and piers, shed and patio slabs, exposed aggregate finishes, pathways and steps, retaining wall footings, and concrete removal and repairs. One crew runs the excavation and the pour, so your set-out stays true from start to finish.

Question 5

Can you do the full pool build — dig and shell?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We excavate the pool to shape, including deep ends, steps and benches, then lay out the reinforcement and pour the concrete shell in one sequence. Because the same crew owns the dig and the pour, there's no handover and no misalignment. We also handle pool plumbing trenches and the surround slab and paving base.

Question 6

What areas do you service?

Accepted Answer

We're based on the Central Coast and service the Central Coast, Sydney, and Newcastle. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, give us a call and we'll let you know straight away.

Question 7

How do you price a job?

Accepted Answer

Every quote is based on a site visit. We walk the block, read the grade and soil, check access, and review your plans or engineer's specs. From there we give you a clear, fixed number — no hourly surprises. Site visits are free with no obligation.

Question 8

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We're fully licensed and insured, and we stand behind every cut and pour. All work is carried out to engineered specifications and Australian standards.

Question 9

How long does a typical job take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the scope. A residential site cut might take a day or two, a house slab a few days, and a full pool dig and shell a week or more. Once we've seen the site and the plans we'll give you a realistic timeline up front and stick to it.

Question 10

Do I need to be on site during the work?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Many of our clients are builders or owner-builders who can't be there every day. We communicate clearly throughout the job and leave the site clean and ready for the next trade. That said, you're always welcome on site.

Question 11

Can you work off engineered plans and surveys?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We work off engineered plans, site surveys, and builder set-outs every day. If you don't have plans yet, we can talk through what's needed and point you in the right direction.

Question 12

How do I get a quote?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way is through our quote page — tell us about your site, drop in the address, and attach a photo or two if you have them. Or call us on 0485 000 363 and we'll arrange a free site visit.
