When it comes to earthworks, Sydney civil construction projects deserve a reliable service that they can trust with their infrastructure. Fortunately, Solve Civil contractors combine extensive civil engineering expertise with practical, on-the-ground experience.
From excavation to site preparation, we ensure every earthworks project is completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards.
Before most construction projects can begin, they will require professional site preparation. This is typically referred to as earthworks or earthmoving services, as preparation entails digging up and moving the ground.
Large quantities of earth, soil, and rocks are moved via excavators, bulldozers, and other industrial machinery. Once cleared, the site is ready for civil infrastructure to be constructed, such as:
Solve Civil excavation contractors in Sydney have years of experience in heading various earthwork services. Before your next project can begin, consider contacting our experienced team for structurally sound site preparation.
Earthmoving services combine engineering and construction to provide a solid foundation for future infrastructure projects.
While residential clients focus on swimming pool, driveway, or landscaping projects, civil construction earthworks tend to focus on communal or large commercial developments. Beyond preparing a project efficiently, earthworks are also necessary for the following:
With earthworks, you’re not just providing stability for projects, but also ensuring safety standards are met. This applies across the comprehensive range of earthmoving services that Solve Civil offers throughout Sydney.
At Solve Civil, we’re staffed with skilled operators who can handle civil infrastructure earthmoving jobs of all complexities and sizes. We offer more than the typical excavation services that contractors in Sydney typically provide. Our speciality in civil construction allows us to supply the following services:
Allow our expert team to handle the heavy haulage of rocks, soil and debris to leave your construction site cleaned and prepared. We operate the required machinery to create level ground, elevations, and other designs that meet the plans of your construction project.
Solve Civil engineers will measure, cut, and move soil throughout a project site to precisely shape its foundations. Our accurate measurements will allow you to save more on transport and material costs, as we use existing soil to make compact floor plans.
Ensure the stability of your construction project with our soil compaction services. Once the earth has been moved and the designs laid out, we stabilise the newly laid ground and build a stronger foundation.
If your excavation project requires sufficient drainage, we can also handle the preparation work for this construction feature. Whether this is for the design of water systems or to prevent damage from pooling water, we provide the earthmoving work necessary.
If you contract with Solve Civil’s exclusive earthmoving services, you receive tailored care for any range of civil construction projects. Each step is carefully planned out to reach your final building goal with minimal disruption and cost-effectiveness.
Our earthmoving process typically follows the steps below, personalised for each new construction project:
Step 1: Site Assessment & Planning
Upon arriving on site, our team takes the initiative to comprehensively evaluate the area's conditions. This includes analysing soil conditions or potential obstacles, and planning on how to address them alongside meeting project requirements.
During this stage, Solve Civil will also take the time to seek out local council approvals. We guarantee that your finalised project will meet not just building codes, but also strict safety measures for long-lasting sustainability.
Step 2: Earthworks Execution
Receive fully developed excavation, cut/fill, and compaction plans tailored to your project. Then, allow the Solve Civil team to execute the entire process ourselves with cutting-edge equipment and skills.
We can successfully perform excavation, grading, and compaction with precision and minimal disruption.
Step 4: Final Inspection & Handover
Before our earthwork services are complete, we also conduct quality checks to ensure the site is ready for the next construction stage. By taking this initiative, we maintain your project's timeline and its cost-effectiveness.
Solve Civil engineers also supply complete knowledge and detailing of our work in the handover documents. This offers you complete transparency on all of the work and resources utilised during the earthmoving stage.
Step 3: Environmental & Safety Compliance
During the earthmoving process, we ensure each step complies with the surrounding area's environmental and safety regulations. All of our services adhere to work health and safety measures, while also ensuring safety for future users of the construction site.

The exact cost of excavation services in Sydney differs greatly depending on the scale and complexity of each project. Your chosen excavation contractors will typically calculate costs on the amount of earth to be moved, if rock breaking is needed, what equipment is required for the job, and the specialisation of said work.
Generally, costs for a civil excavation project range from around $200-$500 an hour. Talk to a rock excavation expert to get an exact quote for your next project.
If your project requires earthworks, professional services should come with minimal risks to the site or workers. However, there’s always the chance that falling objects, collapsing earth, and manual work can cause injuries or delays.
Always ensure that your contracted excavators can be trusted with the site of your project and its safety.
