Frequently Asked Questions


  • What Are Site Preparations?

    Site preparation is the essential first stage of construction, including clearing vegetation, demolishing structures, levelling land, and preparing access. Key considerations include site plans, soil stability, drainage, and physical layout.

  • How Much Does Site Preparation Cost for Construction?

    Costs vary depending on size, slope, access, and soil conditions. Basic site cuts may start from $1,500, while full site prep can exceed $15,000, with clear quotes tailored to each site.

  • What Is the Difference Between Site Preparation and Setting Out?

    Site preparation involves earthworks — clearing, excavation, and levelling — whereas setting out is the precise marking of a build's footprint according to plans, done once the site has been prepared.

  • What Types of Foundations Are There, and How Does Site Preparation Affect Them?

    The four main foundation types are slab-on-ground, strip footings, stumps/piers, and raft foundations. Each requires specific site conditions, from level ground and drainage to compacted soil and trenching.
