Excavation in Church Point
Excavation done properly
Excavation in Church Point ranges from detailed digging next to an existing house to opening up a rear yard for a new slab. In both cases the levels, set out and service locations are confirmed before work starts.
Before any digging in Church Point, underground services are located through Before You Dig Australia, and where needed by a service locator. This protects the services and keeps the job on program.

Local considerations
Planning excavation in Church Point
What we check first
Salt air shortens the life of untreated fixings and some timbers, so we specify stainless or galvanised fixings and durable materials.
Homes in the area
Homes across Northern Beaches include coastal homes, many on sloping sites exposed to salt air, where material choice matters. We look at the existing structure, site access and levels in Church Point before pricing, so the quote reflects the actual house.
Council approval
Excavation is usually approved as part of the building work it supports. Deep cuts near boundaries can need engineering, shoring and notice to neighbours. We confirm the approval pathway for your Church Point property during the site visit.
Questions
Excavation in Church Point, answered
What happens if you hit rock?
Rock and poor ground cannot always be seen before digging. Our quotes state how rock is allowed for, so any extra cost is clear before work continues.
Can you build the slab or footings as well?
Yes. We carry out concreting and carpentry, so excavation, footings, slabs and framing can be delivered by one team.
