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 granny flat slab prep in Manly West?

Yes — base prep, road base supply, compaction and finished trim ready for the slab pour. Compaction certificates available.

Can you handle drainage works on lower Manly West blocks?

Yes — trenching, ag-line install and stormwater works for lower-lying blocks closer to the bay. Drainage worked into the slab-prep package where appropriate.

Are you set up to invoice Brisbane-bayside builders weekly?

Yes — weekly invoicing per site with itemised hours and photo dockets. Standard for our active builder packages.

PAD AND FOOTINGS $4,500 – $18,000 — MANLY WEST

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: Manly West is coastal alluvium — sandy-loam over reactive clay with shallow water table on lower blocks. Slab-grade compaction matters; rock is essentially nil.
