Frequently asked questions

We've built our reputation on referrals and repeat business. Here's some of the common questions builders ask when they are looking for a new site cut team.

  • What size is your site cut machinery?

    We primarily use 14-tonne and 8-tonne excavators, operated by an experienced team. These machines are built to handle a variety of site conditions efficiently and with precision.

  • Aren't small diggers cheaper for site cuts?

    Overall, small excavators will usually cost you more. A 15-tonne excavator is up to four times faster than a 5-tonne machine, significantly reducing overall time and costs. The right equipment for the job saves money in the long run.

  • Do you do more than site cuts?

    Absolutely! We handle just about everything related to site preparation—organising materials, coordinating sub-contractors, and managing waste removal.

  • How much direction do you need for a site cut?

    Not much at all! Our builders typically send us the plans, and we take care of the rest after a quick call. You’ll rarely need to be on site.

  • Do you give site preparation advice?

    Yes! We’re happy to provide guidance on materials, excavation planning, and optimising site conditions. Just send us your plans, and we’ll help you get started.
