Frequently Asked Questions
How is pad preparation different from general earthmoving?
Pad preparation is a specific type of earthmoving that focuses on levelling and compacting ground to create a stable base for building structures. It typically follows bulk earthworks and involves tighter tolerances, accurate grading, and soil compaction to meet engineering or council specifications. General earthmoving, on the other hand, includes a broader range of tasks such as site clearing, topsoil removal, and reshaping large areas. While both use similar equipment, pad prep requires greater precision and is often the final stage before construction begins.
Do I need to be on-site during excavation?
It’s not usually necessary to be on-site throughout the entire excavation process, but it can be helpful to be present at key stages — especially during site handover or layout confirmation. Being available for quick decisions or approvals can help avoid delays or miscommunication. For residential projects, some councils may require the landowner to be present for inspections or compliance checks. If you're not available, make sure your contractor has clear instructions and access to necessary site plans or contacts.
Is a deposit required before excavation work begins?
Some contractors may request a deposit before starting work, especially on larger jobs or where upfront costs like equipment mobilisation or materials are involved. The amount and terms vary and should be clearly outlined in the quote or contract. Paying a deposit can help secure your booking and ensure the project is scheduled as planned. Always review the payment structure carefully to understand when further payments will be due and what’s included at each stage.
