Site cutting is a service provided by an excavation specialist, and you'll need a site cut if you're building a new home or shed, or even some carports. A qualified excavation specialist will prepare the site for building by clearing all major rocks and debris, leaving the site perfectly level and ready for foundations or concrete slabs.
Why do you need a site cut?
Because foundations and slabs are the main structural support for a house, it's essential that they are built on solid, even foundations themselves. No qualified builder will leave out this step - because the long term effects can be a disaster for the longevity of your home or shed.
What do you need to know about site cutting?
Usually an excavation specialist will use bigger machinery for bigger jobs, and smaller machinery for smaller jobs. If you need a small site cut in your backyard (perhaps in your back yard for a garden cottage or a shed) often excavation specialists will struggle to gain access to a back yard with bigger machinery.
Excavation companies will sometimes have a range of machinery they can use for any job but remember when you list your job to ensure that you mention how easy access to the site is. This will ensure that the right excavation company (with the right size machinery for your job) responds to your job.
