Frequently Asked Questions

  • Which locations does J & M Bashforth & Sons service?

    Our services extend throughout Murwillumbah and the wider Northern Rivers region, including Brunswick Heads, Bangalow, Lismore, Casino, Ballina, Lennox Head, Byron Bay, Tweed Heads, Yamba and Pottsville.

  • What are the key stages in a civil construction project?

    Civil construction typically follows several core stages: initial planning and design, site surveying, earthworks and excavation, installation of underground services (like water or drainage) and construction of roadways, kerbing or retaining structures. Each stage must comply with local and state regulations and often involves collaboration with engineers, surveyors and other contractors.


    After construction, the site is cleaned and inspected to ensure it meets safety and environmental standards. Proper project management throughout these stages helps prevent delays and ensures long-term success.

  • Why is drainage important in civil construction?

    Drainage is critical to civil construction as it prevents water damage, erosion and flooding. A well-designed drainage system ensures that water flows safely away from roads, buildings and foundations. Poor drainage can lead to soil instability, structural issues and costly repairs.


    Effective drainage planning includes installing pipes, culverts, swales and stormwater systems that meet local council requirements. It also takes into account the natural slope and soil type of the site. Without proper drainage, even the most durable infrastructure can fail prematurely.
