Dirtcon Pty Ltd · Smiths Gully, Victoria
Dirtcon do the excavation where the access is the hard part. A 1.7 tonne machine through a gate, a 5 tonne cut across a subdivision, and the retention that holds a deep dig open while the structure goes in.

The descent
Not a list of services. The sequence a job actually runs in, from the first machine through the gate to the surface it is left at.
Most residential jobs are won or lost at the side gate. The fleet runs down to a 1.7 tonne excavator so the machine gets to the work instead of the work coming to the machine.
Tight access excavation
Site cuts, trenching and bulk excavation for subdivisions, commercial developments and civil works. Depth, ground conditions and where the spoil goes are what set the job.
Bulk excavation
Basement retention packages, so the ground around a deep dig stays where it is while the structure goes in. This is the work the fleet is really built around.
Basement retention packages
Concrete, brick and rock crushed where they came out and reused on the same job. Fewer truck movements, less carted away, and material you have already paid for stays put.
On site crushing
Grading, compaction and drainage for arenas, sports fields, hardstand, shed pads and building platforms. The part everybody actually sees.
Arena and site preparation
Also on the books. Site cuts, Trenching, Retaining walls, Bored piers, Demolition.
Sites
Described by what is in the frame. Nothing here is dressed up as a named client project, because no project on Dirtcon’s own published material is named.
Balwyn North / Canterbury / Diamond Creek / Doreen / Eltham
From Dirtcon’s own posts, and deliberately not matched to the photographs above, because those two sets cannot honestly be paired.

Will it fit, and will it shift what is there.
How it works
Where it is, what the access looks like and roughly what has to come out. A photo from your phone usually says more than a paragraph.
Access, depth, ground conditions and where the spoil goes. That is what actually sets the job, not the square metres.
A free quote with no obligation. Dirtcon publish a reply inside 24 hours of an enquiry.
The dates get set with you, and the machine that turns up is the one the job needs.
A safe work method statement written for the job, not a template carried between sites.
Machines and site checked at the start of every day before anything moves.
Erosion control, sediment management and waste kept to what the site actually needs.
Work carried out to the Australian standards that apply to the job.
Questions
Dirtcon do not publish prices, and a page that guesses at one is no use to you. Access, depth, ground conditions and where the spoil goes are what set the number. Send a few details and you get a real figure.
Usually yes. The fleet runs down to a 1.7 tonne excavator, which fits through a standard side gate, and tight access is one of the five things Dirtcon actually specialise in.
Melbourne and Victoria wide, run out of Smiths Gully in the Nillumbik shire. Recent work has been at Balwyn North, Canterbury, Diamond Creek, Doreen and Eltham.
Where it makes sense it does not leave. Concrete, brick and rock get crushed on site and reused, which cuts truck movements and keeps material you have already paid for on the job.
Dirtcon publish a reply within 24 hours of an enquiry. Start dates depend on what is already booked, so it is worth asking early.
Ask Jimmy and the current documents get sent through. Nothing about insurance or certification is stated on this page, because a certificate is worth more to you than a claim.
There is no Google Business Profile for Dirtcon yet, so there is nowhere a review could sit where you could go and check it yourself. Rather than fill this space with wording nobody wrote, it says so. The work is on Instagram at dirtcon.au.

The access, the depth and where the spoil goes. That is most of a quote.
