How much does a site cut service cost?
The cost can vary widely depending on several factors such as the size of the area, the complexity of the terrain, accessibility of the site, and the amount of earth that needs to be moved.
Below is a general pricing table to give you an idea of potential costs.
Size of Site | Terrain Complexity | Approximate Cost Range |
Small (up to 400 sqm) | Low | $1,200 – $2,500 |

What is a site cut?
It is an essential process in construction and land development where the top layer of soil is removed or repositioned to prepare a site for building.
This process is critical in ensuring that the land is level, stable, and suitable for the construction of foundations, roads, and other structures.
Key Aspects of a Site Cut:
- Levelling and Grading: The main purpose is to level and grade the land according to the construction plans. This involves cutting into the slope of the land to create flat surfaces at different levels, depending on the project requirements.
- Foundation Preparation: For any building to be stable, its foundation must be laid on flat and firm soil. They are used to create this optimal environment by removing uneven or excess soil.
- Drainage Management: Proper drainage is crucial to prevent water accumulation that can undermine foundations. They often include shaping the land to direct water away from the building site.
- Access Creation: In many developments, they provide the necessary clearance for roads and pathways, facilitating access to and around the site.
The process typically involves heavy machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, and graders, and must be performed by skilled operators to ensure accuracy and safety.
Site cuts are a foundational step in construction, setting the stage for all subsequent building activities and ensuring that they proceed on a solid and well-prepared base.
