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 drainage and stormwater works on Highland Park blocks?

Yes — ag-line, stormwater pits and surface drainage to fix blocks that hold water. Common ask on the flatter Highland Park lots before slab or landscape work.

PAD AND FOOTINGS $4,500 – $18,000 — HIGHLAND PARK

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: Highland Park sits on a mix of clay over weathered shale, with rock pockets on the elevated blocks closer to Worongary. Most digs are clay; the higher blocks can need rock breaking.

HOUSE EXCAVATION ACROSS HIGHLAND PARK

Highland Park is an established central Gold Coast suburb with a mix of original homes, knockdown rebuilds and growing extension work. Sollid Solutions services Highland Park for pool excavations, site cuts, driveway construction and tight-access earthmoving where many blocks have constrained access.
