Excavation & Site Preparation
Site cut, levelling and preparation so footings and slabs go down on solid, well-drained ground.
Excavation & Site Preparation by ERA Construction Group
Every build starts with the ground. We cut and fill to the surveyed levels, trench for footings and services, and prepare drainage so the slab and footings sit on a stable, well-drained base.
Site preparation is quoted as part of a new build or extension, or as a standalone job for builders and owner-builders who need a site made ready.
What’s included
- Site cut and fill to levels
- Trenching for footings and services
- Drainage preparation
- Site clean-up and access
- Preparation for slabs and footings
- Standalone or part of a full build
