Building Platform Work in Ocean Grove

Ocean Grove is the Bellarine's largest town, with growing new estates on sandy, low-lying ground near the Barwon River where a level, well-drained building platform is the first step. Before footings go in, the topsoil needs stripping, the block needs to be cut to the engineer's specified levels, and the platform needs to be properly compacted to carry the load of the structure above it.

Select Civil Group performs precision site cuts across Ocean Grove for new homes, extensions, sheds and commercial builds. We work to the exact levels your engineer has specified, using laser levels and modern excavation equipment to get the numbers right first time. Where the block has a slope, we balance cut and fill volumes wherever practical to reduce cartage costs and leave you with a stable, workable pad.

Andrew is on the tools and on site, so you deal directly with the person running the job from the first call through to the final level check. No middleman, no subbie chains, no chasing someone at an office for a progress update.

Earthworks & Topsoil Stripping

Organic topsoil has no place under a building platform. We strip the topsoil layer before platform preparation begins and handle any bulk earthworks needed to set up the cut correctly.

Frequently Asked

The questions we get most from Ocean Grove homeowners and builders about site cuts.

A site cut is the excavation work that creates a level building platform on your block before construction begins. Ocean Grove's growing new estates sit on sandy, low-lying ground near the Barwon River where stripping the topsoil layer and establishing a properly drained, compacted platform is the first essential step. If your block has any slope or level variation, a site cut is almost always required before footings can be laid.

Cost depends on the size of the platform, the fall across the block, soil type, and how much spoil needs to be removed. Sandy coastal soil common in Ocean Grove behaves differently to heavier inland ground. We provide an obligation-free written quote within 24 hours once we have the site address and your engineer's levels.

Yes. Sloping blocks are exactly what site cuts are designed for. We use laser levels and modern excavation equipment to cut accurately to the levels your engineer has specified, regardless of the fall across the block. Where material needs to be removed, we coordinate spoil cartage as part of the scope so you are not left with a pile of dirt on site.

Most residential site cuts in Ocean Grove take one to three working days depending on the size of the platform, soil conditions and the amount of spoil being removed. We confirm a programmed start and finish date as part of the quote so your builder knows when the site will be ready.
