FAQs

Does your operator offer Wet Hire?

If you wish to hire your own small machine (1.5ton Excavator) from a Hire Company. Our operator, Ian is happy to offer his services and experience to operate the machine at a negotiated hourly rate.

Do you have a combo?

No, we have an excavator with a full range of buckets. However, we do have local Bobcat operators who we can recommend and can work in-conjunction with on-site.

Do you do quotes?

Yes, we can come out at an arranged time or if it's any easier, you can email us with some photos. We'll have a look at the job and give you an estimate of the costs. If our machine is not suitable to do the work we can advise you on the right machine.

Can you organise to get Underground Services located before excavating?

Yes, we can organise an Asset Locator to come out and survey the site. He is a National Accredited Plant Locator and Accredited by Telstra (his fees apply). This procedure is done, before any earthworks, to reduce the risk of damaging the underground assets that can be very costly to repair not to mention the inconvenience and stress.

I have a small job, do you have a minimum charge?

Yes, we have a minimum charge of 2 hrs machine hire, plus travel time.

Can you do a Dial Before you Dig on my address?
