Professional Excavations

Professional Excavations is a family-owned business operating in Townsville since 1994. Its final trim operators have 30 years' experience, hold blue cards, operator tickets and Certificate III in Civil Construction and Plant Operations, and are randomly drug tested. The company is fully insured and code compliant, with Work Method Statements and Standard Operating Procedures available.

It services between Townsville, Cairns, Mackay and Mt Isa, providing civil construction, footing and foundation digging, site preparation, land clearing, drainage and small demolition. Past projects include work for BMD, Mendi, Seymour White's motorway extension, Cardwell Range mulching, Townsville City Council, Mulgowie Farming, Centrogen and Aquaflow.

Residential excavation jobs in the Townsville area have drawn consistent feedback about a well-organised outfit, with office staff and machine operators both keeping lines of communication clear from booking through to completion. A name that recurs is Ros, who handled arrangements and is remembered as easy to deal with, while Kevin carried out minor excavation at one property. Customers repeatedly point to the standard of the finished result and to pricing they regard as reasonable for the work delivered.

Accounts of clearing several truckloads of timber highlight the experience of the bobcat operator, who completed the task with apparent ease. Speed comes up as well, including the pumping of chip bark to the rear of a property in very little time. Cleanliness after the job is another common thread, with the crew taking care to leave the site immaculate. The team also earns credit for adapting to specific requirements when a job is booked, making an effort to work around what the client needed. Reliable delivery of earthmoving and site clean-up work as promised is the impression that stays with customers.
