Our Site Preparation Services
Site preparation covers a wide range of services that create a safe, build-ready environment.
- Clearing & Grubbing
This involves the removal of vegetation, stumps and surface debris to ensure an obstacle-free construction site. It’s the first step before any ground-shaping or excavation begins. - Cut & Fill
We excavate high points and fill low areas to create level ground. This helps achieve proper drainage and a stable base for building. - Trenching & Excavation
Trenches are dug for utilities like plumbing, drainage and electrical services. Precision excavation ensures minimal disruption and accurate depth. - Compaction & Soil Stabilisation
Compacting the soil strengthens the ground and prevents future movement. This service is critical for ensuring structural stability and preventing settlement.
