Hammond Civil Construction

Subdivision Earthworks

Subdivision earthworks form the essential foundation of any land development project. At Hammond Civil, we provide professional subdivision earthworks Coffs Harbour, managing everything from initial site clearing to final surface preparation. Our team works in-house across all stages, ensuring your site is shaped to exact specifications and ready for infrastructure installation. We welcome the opportunity to review your development plans and provide a clearly scoped, cost-effective delivery strategy for all earthworks and associated services.

Key Steps and Techniques in Subdivision Earthworks Coffs Harbour

At Hammond Civil, our subdivision projects follow a structured process tailored to each site.

  1. Initial preparation: Site establishment, surveying, and vegetation clearing set the groundwork for construction
  2. Bulk earthworks and grading: Includes cut to fill, material import or export, shaping, surface grading, subgrade compaction, and erosion control where required
  3. Final trim and handover: GPS-controlled machinery delivers a precise finish, ready for pipe installation, road base, or the next phase of construction

What is Subdivision Earthworks?

Subdivision earthworks involve reshaping and preparing land to support new lots, roads, drainage, and essential services. This includes clearing vegetation, cutting and filling ground to design levels, grading for stormwater control, compacting subgrades, and stabilising soil in preparation for infrastructure construction.

Earthworks must be completed with accuracy to avoid settlement or drainage issues down the line. In most cases, subdivision earthworks are delivered before underground services and pavements are installed, forming the base layer for a compliant and long-lasting development.

Compliance with Coffs Harbour Council Standards

Subdivision earthworks Coffs Harbour must meet the standards outlined by Coffs Harbour City Council. Hammond Civil follows the local Design and Construction Specification and Standard Drawings, ensuring all grading, drainage, and road alignments meet approval requirements.

We understand the importance of meeting these benchmarks early in the project to avoid delays at the subdivision certificate stage. Our team works alongside engineers and surveyors to confirm design levels, prepare compaction testing results, and document works for council sign-off.

With years of experience navigating local planning frameworks, we help streamline compliance while maintaining build quality.

In-House Earthworks from Start to Finish

Hammond Civil delivers subdivision earthworks as part of a full in-house package. We take care of site preparation, bulk and detailed excavation, trenching for underground services, erosion management, and restoration of final surfaces.

This approach reduces the need for multiple contractors, lowers project risk, and gives our clients a single point of contact throughout the job. Our capabilities extend beyond basic earthworks, allowing us to continue straight into drainage, pipe installation, and road construction once the site is shaped.

This continuity of service keeps your subdivision on track and on budget.

Equipment, Precision and Quality Control

We operate a modern fleet of excavation and grading equipment equipped with GPS and laser control systems. This allows for accurate shaping of cut and fill areas, consistent grading, and reduced rework. Compaction equipment is used across all stages to meet density requirements for roads, building platforms, and retaining structures.

Throughout the project, we carry out internal testing and inspection to validate results. Where required, third-party geotechnical testing is arranged to confirm compliance with subdivision approvals or construction certificates.

We prioritise safety and environmental controls across all worksites, ensuring minimal impact on surrounding areas and proper erosion management at every stage.
