Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does excavation involve in construction?

    Excavation is the process of removing soil, rock and other materials to prepare a site for construction. It includes tasks such as digging trenches for utilities, creating footings for buildings, and levelling sites for roads or developments. The type of excavation required depends on the project design, soil conditions and intended use of the site. Proper excavation ensures stability, drainage and safety for future structures.

  • How much does excavation cost in NSW?

    Excavation costs vary widely depending on factors such as site size, soil type, access, and whether specialised equipment is needed. Smaller residential jobs may cost a few thousand dollars, while large-scale commercial or industrial excavations can be significantly higher. Additional costs may apply for rock removal, contaminated soil disposal or challenging access. Obtaining a tailored site assessment is the best way to get an accurate estimate.

  • Do I need council approval for excavation work?

    In many cases, excavation forms part of a larger development application, particularly for building new homes or commercial structures. Some minor works, such as landscaping or small trenching, may not require approval. However, if excavation impacts drainage, alters land levels significantly, or involves removal of contaminated soil, council consent is usually required. It is important to check with the local council to confirm requirements before starting.
