Having worked in the Auckland area for many years, we understand the challenges of working in the local terrain and are experienced with volcanic soil, sandstone, clay, areas of deep topsoil and back-filled areas. with the right earthmoving equipment for every job, we can prepare your site quickly and to a high standard. We'll also remove any hardfill and green waste from your site for safe disposal, leaving you with a fully cleared site ready to begin work. View our gallery to see previous site excavations.

To work with Auckland's leading excavation company, contact us to discuss your project. If you have a smaller job, we also offer excavator and other equipment for hire on hourly rates, with delivery to your site and a fully qualified operator.

Increase living space without losing your garden by carrying out excavations under your house for an extension

More and more Auckland homeowners are undertaking underground basement conversions as a way of capitalising on their space and adding value. Under-house excavations allow you to extend your house by developing a basement level, giving you a cost-effective way of increasing space in your home without encroaching on your section.

With effective under-house excavations, we can add 120 to 200 square metres of living space to an existing three-bedroom house.

Swimming pool excavations help make garden dreams a reality

We work with pool companies that install swimming pools for their clients to prepare the site. This ensures that each installation is carried out with the utmost precision and usually only takes one to two days, including excavation.

Our work in this partnership is to prepare the site to pool specifications which basically means, we roll our sleeves up and do the hard work! We can also combine swimming pool excavations with other earthworks.

Our experienced team can carry out excavations in tricky or tight spaces

Do you need earthmoving works done in a limited access site or tight spaces? No problem! We have specialised equipment to access awkward sites with minimal disruption.

Above ground or underground, we have specialised equipment to access tight spots. Our range of mini diggers and bobcats, hammers and other demolition attachments are specifically designed for hard-to-reach places.

To ensure your foundations are accurately and safely excavated, our team works closely with engineers

Engineers do geo-tech testing and reports to determine what groundwork is required before excavations start. Clegg and/or Vane Shear tests are done to determine the stability of the ground. A simple and quick test known as the Vane Shear test is a method of testing soil characteristics on-site and estimates the undrained shear strength of saturated soils. A Clegg test is used to obtain an indication of the degree of compaction of soil in road construction.

Generally, every customer has their own engineer but we have the equipment to do all the engineering specifications if required. If you have an engineer we'll work closely with them to ensure the work is carried out accurately.

We don’t take shortcuts and work is always properly signed off.
