Dig-outs and small excavations
Restumping and raising nearly always come with earthworks. We do ours in-house, so the job doesn’t stall waiting on somebody else’s machine.
How we can help
When you’re restumping or raising a house, it matters that the crew can also carry out whatever earthworks the job needs to be completed safely. If your project requires a dig-out or tight-access excavation, we have both the construction experience and the right earthmoving gear to get in and do it.
We’ve completed plenty of dig-outs and small excavations for homes across Ipswich, in access you wouldn’t think a machine would fit through.
- Digging out and replacing old stumps
- Raising homes on uneven or sloping ground
- Under-house extensions and builds
- Preparing sites for engineering inspections
Other things we do
House restumping
Removing and replacing failed timber or concrete stumps, then setting the house back down level on new footings.
House raising
Lifting a home permanently to build in underneath, get clear of flood levels, or add height and value.
House releveling and bracing
Straightening dropped and sagging floors, and bracing the structure so it stays where we put it.
House sliding and on-site moving
Repositioning a house on its own block — shifting it back, forward or sideways to open up the site.
Structural steel beams
Steel bearers, posts and portal frames for open spans underneath and long-term structural support.
