Siteworks
Complete siteworks packages for Perth builders. Clearing, site cut, sand pads, compaction and pre pour prep, delivered clean and on the date you booked it.
Typical work
The siteworks scope we run for volume builders, custom builders and owner builders across Perth.
What's included
Vegetation, stumps, old slabs and redundant structures removed and disposed of, with green waste separated from spoil.
Topsoil stripped and stockpiled or carted, then the block cut to the design platform level.
Clean fill placed, moisture conditioned and compacted in layers to form the building platform.
Perth Sand Penetrometer, DCP or nuclear density testing booked with an independent NATA accredited laboratory, with the certificate handed to you.
Excavation, footing trenches and drainage preparation for limestone block and concrete panel retaining.
Trenching, service backfill, soakwell installation and final trim ahead of the pour.
Spoil removal, driveway and verge shaping and final site clean up after handover.
From overgrown block to build ready pad
Clearing, grubbing and topsoil strip, then the site cut down to the design platform level. Organics and rubble come off the block rather than getting buried under the pad, and green waste, spoil and topsoil are separated as we go, which keeps disposal costs down and makes reuse on site straightforward where the spec allows it.
On a sloping block we cut the high side and fill the low side to reach the finished floor level, with retaining prep and batters formed in the same visit rather than a second mobilisation and a second week in your program.
Sand pads and compaction certificates
The pad is the part your certifier actually looks at. Clean fill is placed in layers, moisture conditioned and compacted, then tested by an independent NATA accredited laboratory.
On Perth sand that means a Perth Sand Penetrometer test reported as blows per 300mm, with results plotted across the pad outline. Clay sites in the Hills and along the eastern margin use a dynamic cone penetrometer instead, and gravel based material gets nuclear density testing. We compact to the blow count or dry density ratio your engineer specifies and hand the certificate over, so the slab crew is not standing around waiting on a retest.
Booked in, done, off site
Builders do not book a siteworks contractor for the earthmoving. They book one because the pad has to be right on the morning the slab crew turns up.
We hold the dates we give you, run one supervisor across your jobs so you are not re-explaining the same site every visit, and leave the block clean, pegged and photographed. If what is on the ground does not match the drawings, you get a call that morning rather than a variation at the end.
Perth ground, block by block
We work right across the metro region, and the block decides the method. Coastal suburbs through the Spearwood limestone country regularly need rock breaking on what looked like a simple cut. The Bassendean sand corridor out through Ellenbrook, Baldivis and Byford is straightforward pad country. The Hills need retaining, batters and a plan for the laterite. The eastern margin around Guildford and Forrestfield is reactive clay with a working window that narrows every winter.
Pricing a Wanneroo block the same way as a Kalamunda block is how a fixed price turns into a variation. We quote what your lot actually needs.
