Davison Earthmovers

Davison Earthmovers is a South Australian owned and operated company that has been operating since 1986, offering earthmoving and construction services in the rail, commercial, industrial and civil sectors. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 quality certification, ISO 45001:2018 safety certification and ISO 14001:2015 environmental certification, and has been a member of the Civil Contractors Federation for over 30 years.

Its project work has included demolition works at the Flinders Medical Centre and the Penfield Rail Formation project for SCT (Special Container Transport).

Davison Earthmovers provides excavation and earthmoving work around Adelaide, and feedback gathered across its reviews points in two distinct directions. On the positive side, customers describe jobs completed quickly and effectively, with value for money noted as a strength. One reviewer who rang the office about a smoking four-wheel-drive ute in the fleet found the woman who answered the phone helpful, suggesting the administrative side of the operation handles enquiries reasonably well.

A point that comes up often in the lower-scoring accounts, conversely, concerns the behaviour of some drivers on public roads rather than the earthmoving work itself. Two separate reviewers describe dangerous driving in a company vehicle on the Southern Expressway, citing speeding, tailgating and road rage, with one describing the workers involved as rude and impatient.

These accounts sit alongside the more favourable comments about the earthmoving side of the business, so the picture is mixed depending on whether a customer is judging the work delivered on site or the conduct of staff behind the wheel. The recurring themes remain the speed and value of the work on one hand and on-road behaviour on the other, with the helpfulness of office staff the point most often singled out by name.
