SOLID FOUNDATIONS

Getting the Groundwork Right

Excavation work sets the foundation for everything that follows, which is why getting it right from the start matters. We take a practical, hands-on approach to every excavation job, carefully assessing ground conditions, access and site requirements before work begins. This helps avoid issues later and ensures the site is properly prepared for construction, infrastructure or landscaping.


Over the years, we’ve worked across a wide range of environments, from residential blocks to active civil sites and rural properties. We understand how important accuracy, safety and timing are when excavating, especially when working around existing structures or services. That's why we do the hard work right the first time, so your site is ready for whatever comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What size excavator do I need?

    The size of excavator required depends on the scope of work, site access and ground conditions. Mini excavators are commonly used for backyard projects, tight-access sites and light trenching work. Medium-sized excavators are suitable for house sites, drainage and general earthworks. Larger excavators are typically used for bulk excavation, civil projects and major site preparation. Choosing the right size helps improve efficiency and reduce potential site damage.

  • Do you need a licence to operate an excavator?

    In most cases, operating an excavator on private property does not require a standard driver’s licence, but proper training and competency are essential. Workplace regulations may require operators to hold specific tickets or certifications depending on the job site and employer requirements. When hiring machinery without an operator, it is important to confirm that the person operating it is qualified and understands safety procedures.

  • What is wet hire for council projects?

    Wet hire refers to hiring an excavator together with a qualified operator. For council projects, wet hire is often preferred because it ensures the machinery is operated by someone experienced in civil works and compliant with workplace health and safety requirements. This arrangement can support project efficiency, documentation standards and on-site coordination with other contractors. Wet hire is commonly used for drainage works, road construction and other public infrastructure projects.
