On Program and on Budget With Prowall’s Foundations Package

When embarking on residential, commercial, or civil construction projects, the costs of hiring individual retaining wall and excavation specialists can quickly add up.

First, there are costs associated with transporting machinery, materials and more onsite. Then, the costs of each qualified tradesperson and even potential accommodation requirements.

And that’s just the high-level costs associated with any project.

Throw in rapidly changing site conditions that could require additional personnel, equipment or machinery just to handle it. And then there’s the possibility of lengthy project delays eating into your profits and schedule.

Fortunately, there's a smarter, more cost-effective solution available for residential, commercial, or civil construction projects all across Victoria:

Prowall Construction’s Foundations Package.

But first.

How much does excavation typically cost?

One of the major cost components of any construction project is excavation. Hiring individual excavation specialists can be expensive, with hourly rates ranging from $80 to $100 or more.

Additionally, excavation work requires specific qualifications and compliance with health and safety regulations, adding to the complexity and cost of the project.

This cost can also vary depending on the size of the area, terrain conditions, site cut and land-levelling requirements, and the complexity of site access.

And, more often than not, companies will include hiring costs for excavators if they don’t own the machines themselves.

This can add between $400 to $1500 to your bill, with additional costs for transportation and soil removal on top of that.

How much does retaining wall installation typically cost?

For straightforward projects with ample site access, perfect ground conditions and zero complexities beneath the terrain (connected services, water pipes, tree roots, etc.), a retaining wall installed across Victoria costs anywhere between $150 and $750 per square metre.

However, it’s the complexities of your retaining wall job that will determine the overall price.

Factors such as the dimensions of the wall, the material type of the retaining wall, overall aesthetic, and decorative finishes will all influence the final cost.

So will access limitations, usually requiring additional machinery and personnel to get the job done, council permits, drainage solutions and backfill if needed, and additionally, a structural engineer if your retaining wall exceeds one metre in height.

As you can see, laying the foundations for any residential, commercial or civil construction project across Victoria can become rather costly when multiple companies and specialists are engaged.

What does Prowall’s Foundations Package include?

1. Site Scrape: The Foundations Package begins with a thorough site scrape, ensuring the removal of any debris, vegetation, or obstacles that may hinder the construction process.
2. Bulk Excavation (Site Cut): The package includes bulk excavation or site cut, which involves the removal of soil or rock to create a level surface for construction.
3. Detailed Excavation: Beyond the bulk excavation, detailed excavation is performed to fine-tune the site to the exact specifications required for the construction. This precise excavation ensures that the foundation is laid correctly, minimising future issues.
4. Import: If additional materials are needed to build up the site or fill in certain areas, the package includes the importation of these materials – so you can avoid extra costs.
5. Retaining Wall Construction/Fencing: Depending on the requirements of your project, the package can include the construction of timber/concrete retaining walls or fencing.
6. Cartage and Disposal: The package covers the cost of cartage and disposal of excess soil, rocks, or debris from the site. This ensures that the site remains clean and organised throughout the construction process, minimising disruptions and hazards.
7. Handover Ready for Pre-Slab Works: Finally, the Foundations Package ensures that the site is handed over to you in a condition that is ready for pre-slab works. This includes all necessary preparations and levelling, setting the stage for the next phase of your construction project.
