Site Cuts & Final Trim
Site cuts in Melbourne
House site cuts dug to levels and trimmed ready for slab or footings.
01Overview
A site cut sets the whole build. If the pad is off, the slab, the drainage and the retaining are all off too.
We cut house sites to the engineer's and builder's levels, trim clean batters and leave the pad ready for the slab crew. We also cart the spoil, so there's one contractor to deal with.

02How it runs
From first look to handover.

We work from your set-out and site plans, and confirm levels before cutting.
Step 02
Cut
A machine sized for the site and access. Levels checked throughout.
Step 03
Trim
Final trim to level, with batters and edges finished clean.
Step 04
Clear
Spoil loaded and carted, and the site left ready for the slab.
03Good to know
Before you book.
- 01
We need the soil report and the engineer's levels before we cut.
- 02
Deep cuts or cuts near boundaries may need retaining. Plan it now, not after.
- 03
Rock is common in parts of the South-East. A rock breaker attachment keeps the job moving.

05FAQ
Common questions.
Do you do the footings as well?
Yes. Footings, piers and trenching can be done in the same booking.
What happens if we hit rock?
We run rock breaker attachments, so in most cases we deal with it on the day. We'll talk to you before it changes the cost.
