Earthworks
We provide a wide range of excavation and earthworks services to meet your needs. Your go-to excavation company for residential, commercial, farm and Civil projects.
A strong build begins with solid ground. Our earthworks services provide the essential preparation that sets every project up for success, including excavation, site levelling, retaining solutions, and drainage systems, all handled with the same attention to detail as the rest of our builds.
Wellington's terrain is rarely straightforward. Steep sections, variable soil, and drainage challenges are the norm rather than the exception, so our team uses proven methods and reliable equipment to deliver accuracy, efficiency, and safety on every site. For residential, commercial, and remodelling projects alike, good groundwork is what gives the finished structure the stability to last a lifetime.
We can take on earthworks as a stand-alone service or as the first stage of a full Wellington Building Company build.
FAQs
Do you handle earthworks for sites you're not building on? Yes, our earthworks service is available as a stand-alone offering, separate from a full WBC build. If you need site preparation, excavation, or groundwork done ahead of another company's build, or for a separate project entirely, we can quote that on its own.
How do you deal with Wellington's hillside and drainage issues? Wellington's terrain means retaining, drainage, and slope stability come up far more often than on flat sites elsewhere in the country. We assess each site's specific conditions like: soil type, slope, and water flow, and plan groundwork accordingly, since the right solution really does depend on the individual property.
Do I need a separate consent for earthworks and excavation? This depends on the scale of the earthworks and your local council's district plan rules, some minor groundwork is permitted without consent, while larger excavation or work near boundaries and waterways often requires one. Because this varies by site and council, it's best assessed on a case-by-case basis, which we can do as part of scoping your project.
