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 work around Surfers Paradise traffic management requirements?

Yes — we coordinate with builders and TMP providers for kerb-side tipper movements, after-hours mobilisation and any council permitting required on the CBD streets.

HOUSE EXCAVATION ACROSS SURFERS PARADISE

Surfers Paradise is the Gold Coast's central beachside hub — a mix of high-rise basements, low-rise apartment renovations, retail fit-outs and the residential streets behind the strip. Sollid Solutions handles the access-restricted excavation, slab prep and rubbish work the area's tight CBD layout demands.

Local ground conditions: Surfers Paradise sits on coastal sand over reactive clay, with a shallow water table close to the canals and beach. Dewatering and shoring are standard considerations on any dig below 1.5m.
