Excavation · Coffs Coast

Excavation in Coffs Harbour and Bellingen.

Pads, dams, trenches and bulk cut-and-fill across Coffs Harbour, Bonville, Bellingen and the Mid North Coast. One owner-operator on a 6-tonne Mecalac, with the tipper to take the spoil away: one phone number, one point of contact.

Excavation done by the person you spoke to on the phone

BFEx is owner-operated. Ben quotes the job, runs the excavator and stays on it until it is finished. We dig house and shed pads, farm dams, trenches and drainage lines, and do bulk cut-and-fill and detailed grading on rural and residential blocks around Coffs Harbour.

Because we also run the Hino tipper, spoil goes straight out and gravel or road base comes straight in. One team on one job, instead of lining up a separate truck.

Common questions

How much does excavation cost?

It is priced per job after a look at the block. Access, the ground, what is being dug and how far the spoil has to go all change the time on site. Send a few photos and the address and we'll give you an honest quote, no obligation.

Do you do small jobs?

Yes. A single trench run, a small shed pad or a one-day tidy-up gets quoted the same way as the big ones.

Can you take the spoil away?

Yes. The Hino tipper carts it to the tip, or we can stockpile or spread it on site if you would rather keep it.

Do I need approval to excavate?

It depends on what and where. A pad for a new shed or house usually sits under the approval your builder or designer is handling, and dams and some earthworks have their own rules. Ask us and we'll tell you if something looks like it needs a check before we start.

Got a pad, dam or trench to dig?

Let's dig it.
