HOUSE EXCAVATION MERMAID BEACH

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.

Local note — Demolition site cleans, footing dig and pad prep on Mermaid Beach's narrow oceanfront blocks.

Mobilisation from base: 15–25 minutes

PAD AND FOOTINGS $4,500 – $18,000 — MERMAID BEACH

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: Mermaid Beach is predominantly coastal sandy-loam over reactive clay, with the water table sitting higher on canal-side and oceanfront blocks. Rock is essentially nil — the challenge is access, not ground.
