About CEG
Built from the ground up.
Cain Excavation Group — excavation, earthworks and retaining walls across Melbourne's South-East.
01Our story
On the tools, then out on our own.
CEG started where most good earthmoving businesses start: on the tools. Time spent in construction and behind the controls taught us what builders and homeowners actually need from an excavation contractor.
Turn up when you said you would. Get the levels right. Leave the site ready for the next trade. Tell people straight what the job needs.
That's still how every job runs. The difference now is a full set of machines and attachments, so we can take on more, from tight backyard digs to full site works, without cutting corners.
02Who you deal with
One contact, start to finish.
When you call CEG you talk to the people who run the machines. No call centres, no sales team — you deal with the operator doing the work, from the first site look to the final clean-up.
We work directly with homeowners, and alongside builders, developers, landscapers, plumbers and pool builders across greater Melbourne.
03Why CEG
What every job gets.
01
You'll hear from us
Clear start dates, updates when things change, and calls returned. It keeps your program moving.
02
Finished properly
Clean batters, square cuts, tidy trims. The work is set up so the next trade can start without fixing ours.
03
The right gear on site
Machines and attachments matched to the job, from tight-access backyards to bulk digs, so it gets done faster and with less damage.
04
An organised site
Spoil managed, access kept clear and the site left tidy at the end of each day.
05
Problems solved on the day
Rock, services, poor ground or a tight laneway. We work through it and talk it through with you, not around you.
06
One contractor, start to finish
Excavation, drainage, walls, preparation and spoil removal under one booking. Fewer trades to coordinate.
07
Levels that are right
We work to your plans and set-out, and check levels as we go, because it's far cheaper to get the dig right than to fix it later.
08
Straight talking
Honest advice on what the job needs, what it'll take and what it'll cost. No surprises at the end.
Fully equipped
The right machine for your site.
