Do you work directly with builders?

Yes — we work with both registered builders and owner-builders. We coordinate with your engineer, slab crew and surveyor so the dig is ready when the next trade arrives.

How accurate are your final levels?

We trim to the engineer's tolerance — typically +/- 20mm for the bulk pad and tighter for footings. GPS grading and laser checks on every job.

Can you handle the soil testing report and contour plan?

We work from whatever site info you have — soil test, contour survey, engineer's drawings. If you don't have these yet, we can recommend the surveyors and engineers we trust on the Coast.

Do you do full Ashmore knockdown-rebuild dirt-work packages?

Yes — demolition spoil clearance, site cut to engineered level, footings, slab prep and final driveway, all under one contractor with a single point of accountability.

PAD AND FOOTINGS $4,500 – $18,000 — ASHMORE

Standard suburban slab pad (flat block, no rock) sits in the $4,500–$8,500 range. Sloped blocks needing benching, rock breaking, or larger footprints push $9,000–$18,000+. Always priced after looking at the engineer's plans and the block.

Local rock note: Ashmore sits on a mix of sandy alluvial soils and clay over weathered shale. Most blocks dig cleanly without major rock, though pockets of harder material can show up below 1.5m. Drainage is the main consideration — ground gets soft after sustained rain.
