HOUSE EXCAVATION BURLEIGH HEADS
House excavation is precision earthmoving — getting your slab pad to the engineered level, the footings dug clean, and the site bench ready for the slab crew. We work directly from your engineer's plans and use GPS-guided grading so the levels are right first time.
PAD AND FOOTINGS $4,500 – $18,000 — BURLEIGH HEADS
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: Burleigh's soil is predominantly sandy-loam closer to the coast, transitioning to heavier clay further inland. Most blocks dig cleanly, but some — particularly on the higher ground toward West Burleigh — do hit rock, so we assess each block on its own. Tight residential access is the other common challenge.
