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 work with Bonogin acreage builders on full new-build packages?

Yes — we coordinate directly with builders on Bonogin acreage projects, from initial land clearing through site cuts, footings, slab prep and final driveway. One contractor across the dirt-work program.

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

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: Bonogin's geology is similar to neighbouring Mudgeeraba and Tallai — basalt-derived clay with frequent rock outcrops. Many properties have rock starting within the first metre of dig, particularly on elevated sections.
