What you get with RBM
RBM runs its own excavation plant and operators. That means when you book us for concrete, the site cut and base prep can be included. No coordinating with a separate digger contractor, no blame-swap if something’s off.
We also take on standalone excavation work: site cut, footings, drainage, service trenches and detail work where precision matters more than brute force.
Where we’ve done this: Bairnsdale, East Gippsland.

How an RBM excavation job runs
Not hypothetical. This is the same process we’ve refined across 5+ years of East Gippsland work.
- Step 01
Site assessment
Walk the site, mark out, check for services, confirm access and spoil disposal.
- Step 02
Dig plan & quote
Scope confirmed in writing: volume, fill, spoil handling and access considerations.
- Step 03
Excavate
Dig to depth and level, with compaction and trimming as required.
- Step 04
Spoil & clean
Spoil removed or placed as agreed, site left clean and ready for the next step.
What moves the price on a excavation job
These are the reasons a reliable concreter doesn’t hand out a price per square metre over the phone. Get any of these wrong in the estimate and the job loses money, which is where variations and rushed corners come from.
Volume of material
Cubic metres moved is the base of the cost.
Spoil disposal
Can spoil stay on-site, or does it need to be trucked away? Big cost swing.
Access
Tight access may mean smaller plant, slower work and more truck runs.
Soil type
Clay, rock or reactive soils change how fast we can work.
Services
Proximity of underground services may mean hand digging in sections.
Bundled concrete work
Packaging excavation with a concrete job usually reduces total cost vs booking two separate trades.
