Site preparation done properly.
Cut and fill, levelling, compaction, building pads and driveways — finished to ±15mm tolerance and laser-checked, so your slab crew or builder walks onto a platform that's actually ready.
What's included
Everything in the one price.
- ✓Topsoil strip and stockpile — the good dirt kept for landscaping
- ✓Cut to designed depth with surveyor pegs and laser levels
- ✓Fill in lifts with proper compaction, not just dumped and rolled
- ✓Building pad finished to ±15mm tolerance over the whole pad
- ✓Driveway sub-base — road base or DGB to compacted depth
- ✓Cut drains and grade for water so the pad doesn't sit in a puddle
- ✓Compaction testing on request (we'll engage a CET if your builder wants one)
- ✓Tip-clean handover — pegs in, levels confirmed, builder briefed

Questions
Straight answers.
What tolerance do you finish a pad to?
±15mm over the whole pad, laser-checked. Most slab crews are happy with ±25mm — we go tighter because it makes their day easier and the slab pour cleaner.
Do you do compaction testing?
On request. We engage an independent CET (Compaction Engineer/Testing) who certifies the pad in writing. Most domestic pads don't need formal testing, but if your builder or insurer asks, we'll arrange it.
How long does pad prep take?
A standard 200m² house pad on flat ground: 2–3 days. A sloped block with cut and fill: 4–7 days. A granny flat or shed pad: 1–2 days.
Do you handle the spoil?
Yes. We own a tipper and know the local tip rates. If the cut produces clean fill you want to keep on site, we'll re-use it before paying a tip fee.
What if my builder wants to do the prep themselves?
Fine — but get it in writing what they're including. We'd rather hand you a clean pad and let the builder build than mop up at the slab pour.
What insurance do you carry?
$20m public liability with NTI, plus workers compensation through Allianz. Certificates available on request.
