HOUSE EXCAVATION VARSITY LAKES

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.

Mobilisation from base: 20–30 minutes

PAD AND FOOTINGS $4,500 – $18,000 — VARSITY LAKES

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.

HOUSE EXCAVATION ACROSS VARSITY LAKES

Varsity Lakes is one of the Gold Coast's busiest residential and lifestyle suburbs — modern homes around the lake, growing families, and constant new-build activity. Sollid Solutions provides earthmoving across Varsity Lakes for pool digs, site cuts, slab prep and tight-access excavation in established estates.

Local ground conditions: Varsity Lakes sits on reclaimed canal-edge ground and sandy fill in many estates, with clay subsoils underneath. Water table is closer to the surface near the lake — pool excavations sometimes need pumping. Bulk excavation is generally clean digging.
