Excavation in Edmondson Park

Excavation done properly

Excavation in Edmondson Park 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 Edmondson Park, 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.

    Excavation

    Set out, dig to the approved levels and footing details, and keep the site safe and tidy each day.

  5. 5

    Ready for the next stage

Local considerations

Planning excavation in Edmondson Park

What we check first

Hot western summers make shade, roof insulation and ventilation worth planning into the design from the start.

Homes in the area

Homes across Liverpool Region include established brick homes alongside newer estates in the growth areas. We look at the existing structure, site access and levels in Edmondson Park 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 Edmondson Park property during the site visit.

Questions

Excavation in Edmondson Park, answered

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.

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.
