Civil Contracting Across the Bellarine

The Bellarine Peninsula has grown from a string of quiet coastal towns into one of the busiest building areas in the Geelong region. From Leopold and Drysdale through to Ocean Grove, Portarlington and the coast, there is a constant mix of new estates, sea-change rebuilds and rural-residential work. Civil work across the peninsula spans sandy coastal soils near the beaches and reactive clay inland, so knowing the ground matters.

Select Civil Group is based in the Geelong region and works the whole Bellarine weekly. From a single site cut on a residential lot through to multi-stage estate earthworks, we bring the right machinery, the right operators, and the experience to keep the program moving for whoever is running the build.

Civil Services for Bellarine Projects

The four services Bellarine builders and developers ask us for most often. Quoted on the specifics of your site, not a flat rate.

Precision site cut on a Bellarine residential block

Site Cuts

Precision cut and fill to engineering levels, ready for footings and slabs. Bellarine blocks vary from flat coastal pads to gently sloping inland rises, and we handle the full range with laser-guided levels and spoil cartage included.

Bulk earthworks on a Bellarine development site

Earthworks & Land Clearing

Bulk earthworks, grading, levelling and land clearing for residential lots, rural-residential blocks and subdivisions. We work to engineering specs and handle compaction so the next trade arrives to a buildable site.

Detail excavation for footings and trenching

Detail Excavation

Footings, service trenches, stormwater lines and tight-access digs to engineering drawings. The precise work that has to be right before concrete and services go in.

Concrete retaining wall on a sloping Bellarine block

Retaining Walls

Concrete retaining walls engineered for the Bellarine's mixed terrain. From short garden walls through to engineered structural walls for sloping blocks. Often paired with site cuts when a level platform is the end goal.

How a Bellarine Job Runs

Quote to handover, the same six steps on every job. No surprises, no scope creep, no chasing for updates.

Step 01

Enquiry

Send the site address, a quick description of the work, and any plans or photos you have. The more we know, the sharper the quote.

Step 02

Site Walk

For larger jobs, we visit the block to check access, soil, levels and obstacles the photos don't show. Most quotes come back within 24 hours.

Step 03

Fixed Quote

Itemised, written, and locked in. Spoil cartage, disposal and machinery are accounted for so there are no surprises at the end.

Step 04

Programmed Start

Confirmed start and finish dates that we hold to. We coordinate with your builder, engineer, or following trades so the ground is ready when they are.

Step 05

On Site

Machine and operator on the ground, working to your engineer's specs. Daily check-ins with whoever is coordinating the build.

Step 06

Handover

Final levels checked, site cleaned, and your site is ready for the next stage. We are still a phone call away if something comes up later.

Frequently Asked

The questions we get most from Bellarine homeowners and builders.

Yes. Bellarine, Drysdale, Portarlington and Leopold and the surrounding Bellarine towns are all within our core service area. We are based in the Geelong region and work the Bellarine regularly.

Civil costs depend on the scope. A standalone site cut sits at one end; a full package of site cut, earthworks, retaining and slab prep sits at the other. We quote each line itemised so you can see exactly where the money goes and where to trim if you need to.

Yes. On most jobs we are the first trade on site, so we lock dates with whoever is running the program and hand over to the next trade ready to go. We can deal directly with the engineer if specs change mid-job.

Both. For homeowners and small builders that is everything from a single retaining wall or driveway through to a full site cut and slab. For larger projects we partner with builders, developers and contractors across the Bellarine and the Geelong region.

Lead time varies with the season and our current run of work. We give you a programmed start date when we quote, and we hold to it. If something is genuinely urgent, ring us directly so we can talk through what is possible.

Yes. Select Civil Group carries full public liability insurance and workers compensation cover on every job. Certificates of currency are available on request.
