FAQ's
What’s the difference between a site cut and general excavation?
A site cut is a specific type of excavation that reshapes the ground to create a level building platform at the correct height. It often involves cutting soil from higher areas and using it to fill lower sections, depending on the block’s slope. General excavation can include trenching, clearing, bulk removal, or digging for footings and services. If a site cut is needed, it’s usually best to confirm levels and plans first so the finished result matches the build requirements.
Can excavation still be done on a tight-access residential block?
Yes, excavation can often be done on smaller blocks, but access and working space will affect the approach and equipment used. Narrow driveways, neighbouring fences, overhead lines, and limited turning room can all influence how machinery gets in and out. It’s also important to consider where soil will be placed or removed, especially if there’s no room for stockpiles on site. A quick site inspection usually helps identify any constraints early so the job runs smoothly.
What happens to the soil after excavation is finished?
Soil can be reused on-site, stockpiled for later works, or removed entirely depending on the project and site conditions. Some blocks need clean fill brought in or unsuitable material taken away, especially if the ground is soft, wet, or unstable. If the excavation is for a building pad or driveway, the soil may also need to be compacted in layers to meet the required standard. Discussing spoil removal and disposal upfront helps avoid delays and unexpected costs later.
