Excavation Cost Melbourne

Everything You Need for an Affordable, Successful Excavation Project
There are many reasons to use our excavation services and other options. One of the most common is to get ready for new construction or an extension to an existing home.
Simply working through a few simple steps will ensure cost-effective success in any such situation. Some of the issues you will need to see to include:

• Check prices. The average full-service site excavation cost in Victoria today ranges between $90 and $150 per hour. Since renting excavation equipment for even a day can cost $500 or more, hiring a specialist often makes the most financial sense. This is particularly true given how efficient professionals tend to be compared to amateurs.
• Verify licenses. Licensing ensures that contractors are qualified and equipped to handle the work clients give them. Always verify that any contractor you are considering has a valid, current license.
• Secure permits. Most excavation and construction activities in Melbourne and other parts of Victoria require city-issued permits. These can now often be obtained online, as with Melbourne's permitting system. Elsewhere in Victoria, you might need to call a local agency or even visit an office in person.
• Survey and test. A site must always be surveyed and tested before any sort of excavation work can proceed. Call the Dial Before You Dig hotline to be apprised of buried hazards like gas lines. Soil testing will highlight potential problems so they can be avoided.
• Contact a specialist. If you choose to have a specialist like us handle your excavation work, you can rest easy. Excavation work often proves a lot more challenging than DIY-types expect, but we always make everything very simple.

Whether you are planning new residential construction or an addition to a commercial building, give us a call 03 9071 0039 anytime you need excavation work or one of our other services.
