What is the difference between cut and fill in earthworks?
Cut and fill is a common earthworks method used to level a construction site. “Cut” refers to removing soil or rock from higher ground, while “fill” involves adding that material to lower areas. This balances the terrain, ensuring a level base for buildings, roads or infrastructure.
Engineers determine how much material needs to be moved to minimise waste and achieve stable, well-compacted ground. Cut and fill techniques are essential for safe foundations, proper drainage and long-term site stability—particularly on sloped or uneven land.
What services are included in subdivision construction?
Subdivision construction involves more than just dividing land into lots. It includes clearing and grading, installing drainage and stormwater systems, building internal roads and connecting essential services like water and electricity. The process also includes ensuring access for each lot and meeting planning and zoning requirements set by local councils. Subdivisions must be completed to a high standard to gain final approval and registration. Accurate execution ensures the new lots are safe, accessible and ready for development.
