Excavation in Harris Park
Excavation done properly
Most excavation we do in Harris Park is tied to a build. We dig to the engineer's footing details, set levels from the drawings and leave the site ready for the next stage, which is often our own concrete or carpentry crew.
For commercial and larger residential work in Harris Park, excavation is sequenced with the rest of the program so footings, slab and services can follow without delay. Spoil removal is priced separately where it is part of the scope.

Local considerations
Planning excavation in Harris Park
What we check first
Standard suburban blocks usually give good rear access, so the main questions are setbacks, existing structure and stormwater.
Homes in the area
Homes across Parramatta Region include a mix of post-war cottages, brick veneer homes and newer infill housing. We look at the existing structure, site access and levels in Harris 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 Harris Park property during the site visit.
