What goes wrong on Toorak Gardens digs
Most problems in Toorak Gardens are not the machine, they are what was missed first: an unread survey, a cut too deep against a boundary, or rock that was never priced. Where existing boundary walls and footings sit next to the cut, we check them before we start. Before You Dig plans plus potholing cover the services where the records are unreliable.
Levels you can hand to the certifier
A cut that is 40mm out becomes a concrete variation at ten times the price. We cut to tolerance and hand over levels a certifier and slab contractor can rely on. Where rock or reactive clay changes the ground truth mid-dig, you hear about it with a priced option in writing.
