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.

Can you handle wet-weather access on Maudsland acreage driveways?

We monitor the forecast carefully and use ground protection mats where appropriate. If conditions risk rutting your driveway or paddock we'll reschedule rather than push through.

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

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: Maudsland sits on basalt-derived clay with frequent rock — both surface outcrops and shallow rock under the topsoil. Rock breaking is a regular part of work in the area; we factor expected rock into the quote.
