Whether it’s a flat residential block or a more challenging sloped site, our team has the machinery, experience and know-how to deliver a solid, level base that sets your project up for success. We don’t cut corners—we cut, fill, compact and grade with care so that everything else can follow smoothly.

Professional Site Prep & Foundation Excavation
Whether you’re building a new home, installing a shed or planning an extension, our house pad excavation services cover everything from initial site prep to final grading. We assess the ground conditions, carry out precise cut and fill work, compact the base, and make sure drainage and slope requirements are met—so the structure built on top stays solid for years to come.
We also understand that no two sites are the same, so we bring in the right gear for the terrain and job size, including bobcats and tippers. For clients on rural or sloped land, we take extra care to stabilise the site and remove or redistribute excess soil.
- Accurate grading and levelling
- All wet hire included
- Ideal for residential, commercial and rural sites
We service Coffs Harbour and a wide surrounding region including Grafton, Port Macquarie, Bellingen, Tamworth, and beyond. We’re ready when you are — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you’re planning a new build or need site excavation support, give us a call on

What’s the difference between cut and fill when preparing a house pad?
Cut and fill refers to the process of removing (cutting) soil from higher parts of a site and using it to fill in lower areas, creating a flat, level surface for building. This is common on sloped or uneven blocks and is crucial for stabilising the structure. Proper compaction and grading are essential to prevent issues like soil movement, poor drainage or slab cracking later on.
How long does it take to excavate a house pad?
Most standard house pad excavations take between one and three days, depending on site size, access and soil conditions. For more complex jobs involving heavy cut and fill, additional compaction layers or poor weather, it may take longer. Scheduling equipment and operators efficiently can also reduce delays—which is why working with an experienced team makes a difference.
Can you build directly on a house pad after excavation?
No, building should not begin immediately after excavation alone. Once the pad is cut and filled to the right level, it must be properly compacted and tested (if required by engineers). Some projects may also require a layer of crushed rock or sand, and drainage needs to be addressed before pouring concrete or installing footings. Always check with your builder or certifier before proceeding.
