Excavation
Accurate excavation sets up everything that follows. We cut to level, manage spoil and trench for services so the next trades can start on time.
Site preparation that gets your build out of the ground.
Every project starts in the ground, and the accuracy of the excavation sets the standard for everything that follows. Swift Construction delivers bulk and detailed excavation, site cuts, trenching and rock breaking for residential, commercial and industrial sites across Sydney.
Before we dig, we locate underground services, review the geotechnical information and set out the excavation limits and levels from the drawings. Spoil is managed on site or removed, batters and edges are kept safe, and levels are checked as we go rather than at the end.
We are experienced in confined and difficult sites, including excavation inside existing buildings and through rock, where careful planning and the right plant make the difference between a smooth job and a costly delay.
