Bulk ExcavationResidential builders — FAQs
How much does a site cut cost for a residential lot in Melbourne?
It depends on the fall across the block, soil and rock, how much spoil leaves site, and access. As a guide (indicative, ex GST): bulk excavation with cart-away runs about $45–80 per m³, and a 5.5 t excavator with operator is from $125/h with a 6-hour minimum. A firm per-lot price comes from measuring your plans.
