Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need approval before starting earthmoving or excavation work?

    Approval requirements depend on the type and scale of the project. In many cases, significant earthmoving—especially on residential or environmentally sensitive land—requires council approval or a permit. Always check with your local planning authority or a town planner to ensure you're meeting current regulations.

  • What’s the difference between excavation and earthmoving?

    Excavation refers specifically to the removal of earth to form foundations, trenches, or holes. Earthmoving is a broader term that includes excavation, levelling, grading, clearing, and relocating soil or rock to shape land for construction or landscaping purposes.

  • Can earthworks affect drainage and erosion?

    Yes. Poorly planned earthworks can lead to water pooling, poor run-off, or erosion—especially on sloped blocks. Proper drainage design and erosion control methods such as compacting, retaining walls, or planting are essential to maintain soil stability.
