From a knock-down rebuild to a new estate pad, each service has its own page with the detail.
Pleasure Point sits about 31 kilometres south-west of the city. Locals place it by Georges River, Pleasure Point reserves and Holsworthy bushland. It's ringed by Voyager Point and Hammondville. What's changing: knock-down rebuilds and pools on the riverside blocks, and drainage and retaining on the slopes.
Pleasure Point's housing near Georges River runs to riverside cottages and rebuilds on bushland-backed blocks. Near Georges River, knock-down rebuilds are the running theme. In Pleasure Point that's pool digs, retaining walls and drainage more often than not.
On the floodplain, Pleasure Point sits on Georges River alluvium and sand over shale, out by Georges River. Toward Pleasure Point reserves the Pleasure Point sand runs deep over silt, so drainage and shoring carry the job and the walls are battered back. Around Hammondville, the clay is reactive, so fill goes in in compacted layers.
Pleasure Point is in Liverpool City Council; the Georges River end carries flood and bushfire controls, so we dig to the approved plans. The crew reaches the Pleasure Point job off Pleasure Point Road or Riverside Drive, where the fall has to be benched and retained, past Voyager Point.
Every job follows the same sequence, whether it's a single trench or a full site cut.

Every job gets a written quote after a site look, with the dig, cartage and cleanup spelled out, so you know what’s included before anything starts.
Usually, if the excavation is part of a build. Cut and fill beyond set limits, work near boundaries and anything on a lot with a flood, bushfire or heritage overlay needs approval as part of the DA or CDC. We work to the approved plans; check with your certifier before the dig is booked.
A trench, pool dig or single pad is a day or two; a knock-down site cut or a basement runs longer and depends on volume, ground and weather. Dates come with the quote, not after.
Rarely. Georges River alluvium and sand over shale on the floodplain. Shale under the clay is ripped rather than broken. Real rock work is a North Shore and Eastern Suburbs problem, not a south-west one.
Yes, and across Liverpool and Fairfield it’s the most common job. The old house down, slab and footings out, the block stripped, and two pads cut and compacted to the engineer’s spec on the clay.
Reactive clay. It swells in wet winters and shrinks in dry summers, and anything poured on loose or uncompacted fill moves with it. A pad cut and filled in compacted layers to the engineer’s spec is what stops the new slab doing the same thing.
Yes. The old house down, slab and footings out, the block stripped and the new pad cut and compacted, as one run if you want the demolition handled too.
Yes. Georges River alluvium and sand over shale on the floodplain. The pool builder’s engineer will usually want the base checked, which is standard, and the machine is sized to the side access.
