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 Mermaid Waters pool demolition for knockdown rebuilds?

Yes — old pool removal and full site reinstatement $3,500–$8,000 depending on size and access. Important step before the new slab can go down on knockdown-rebuild blocks.

How fast can you mobilise to a Mermaid Waters job?

Mermaid Waters is 15–25 minutes from base. Subject to current bookings we can usually start within 3–5 days of confirmation. Tighter timelines possible for established builder clients.

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

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 Waters sits on reclaimed sandy fill over clay, with high water tables on canal-edge blocks. Pool digs near the waterway almost always need dewatering. No rock — excavation is generally clean.
