Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't you list prices?

Every client has their own specific needs and process, it would be impossible to list them all. Working out exactly what you need first allows us to make sure you get everything the first time, without having to come back later or have unexpected add ons. We want our clients to know and understand what they are getting, quality work without nasty surprises. If you use our form above we can get you a quote right away.

Why should I get a geotechnical report?

If you are building a home, a swimming pool, doing a subdivision or want to build a skyscraper. Any construction project in Australia is going to need a geotechnical report at some stage for council and/or other authorities approval. Since you need one anyway, the best time to get it is as early as possible in the project. Avoid surprises and give you, your designer, builder or anyone else involved the best information about the ground conditions to save you time, money and stress.

I don't know what I need in my report?

Perfectly fine and very common. Once you reach out to us, we will assess what you need by talking to you and reviewing what information you currently have available. We like to do this even if you know exactly what you are after.

What if I can't understand my report?

Don't stress. We will always explain everything in terms that you don't need to be an engineer to understand. We have decades of experience dealing with all types of clients.

Do I need to be home when you do the field work?

No, we can do it with you there or without you. As long as we have access which we can discuss with you before we head to site to make sure we bring the right equipment.

Can you work on tricky or hard to access sites?

Absolutely. Steep sites, rocky ground and narrow access are some of the common challenges we face. The right equipment and a wealth of experience allows us to handle all sorts of sites safely and efficiently.

How do I book?

Just submit the short question form at the top of this page. We will then be in touch to guide you through the process.

Do you service my area?

We regularly work on projects across Sydney, along the coast from Newcastle to Nowra and to the west over the Blue Mountains. Let us know if your site is elsewhere in NSW and we will work out how we can help you.

Will drilling damage my property?

In order to minimise disturbance, a range of options are available. From compact rigs to hand tools and controlled drilling methods. Boreholes are kept as small as possible, generally 100 mm and are neatly backfilled afterwards. We can even patch them with concrete or asphalt if requested.

Can I get advice before I buy a block of land?

Great question! We always tell our friends and family to do this. Use our wealth of knowledge along with our access to resources and contacts to find out what type of ground conditions to expect before you spend big. We can share insights from soil or rock types, groundwater details, acidic and saline soil likelihood, landslip history and even potential for contamination.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Other companies have told you it will take weeks to get your report

  • Worried because of the horror stories you have heard about like Jordan Springs, where soft ground damaged homes

  • You want your project to be safe and cost efficient

Don't worry, we can help!
