Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are earthworks and why are they important in construction?

    Earthworks refer to the process of moving, removing or reshaping the earth to create a level, stable surface for construction. This includes excavation, site levelling, soil compaction and more. They’re essential for building safe, durable structures, as poor earthworks can lead to drainage issues, structural instability or costly future repairs. Quality earthworks ensure your site is ready for everything that follows.

  • How do I know if I need professional earthworks?

    If your site is sloped, uneven, poorly draining or contains debris or existing structures, you’ll likely need earthworks before construction. Professional services help with everything from levelling land and digging footings to preparing areas for driveways, sheds or pipelines. A quick site inspection can help determine the scope of work required for a successful start to your project.

  • Do I need council approval for earthworks on my property?

    It depends on your local council’s regulations and the type of work being done. Minor earthworks for landscaping or shed pads may not require approval, while larger excavation, cut-and-fill jobs or projects affecting drainage may. It’s best to check with your local council or work with a contractor familiar with regional guidelines to stay compliant.
