Excavation and concreting for residential and light commercial sites across Melbourne's western growth corridor.
Priced against the site as it is — the soil report, the engineer's details and the access you actually have.
Stripping topsoil and cutting the lot down to the design level, with batters formed to a safe angle and the pad trimmed true for whatever is going on it.
Strip and pad footings dug to the depth and width on the engineer's detail, plus the service trenching that has to be in before the slab closes the site.
The full slab package: formwork, crushed rock, vapour barrier, mesh and reinforcing bar, then a placed, screeded and cured slab built to the slab designer's detail.
Driveways formed with a grade that drains away from the building, and vehicle crossovers built to the local council's standard drawing so they pass inspection.
The flatwork around the house — paths, porches, alfresco areas and patios — in a plain, brushed or exposed aggregate finish to suit the rest of the build.
Breaking out basalt floaters and rock shelves, cutting the bases and footings for retaining walls, and carting surplus clay and rock off site.
Each stage has to be signed off before the next one goes on top of it. We quote in this order so you can see what each step covers.
Topsoil and vegetation stripped and stockpiled, boundaries and building envelope set out against the siting plan.
Bulk excavation down to the finished pad level, batters formed, rock and surplus clay loaded out.
Footings and service trenches dug, then the subgrade trimmed and compacted so nothing settles under the slab later.
Crushed rock spread and levelled, vapour barrier laid and taped, mesh and reinforcing bar placed on bar chairs ready for inspection.
Concrete placed, screeded and finished to the specified surface, then cured and protected before the frame goes up.
The more of this you can send, the closer the quoted figure will be to the final invoice.
One quote covering both trades, with the scope and exclusions written out.
