Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 09, 2011 11:05 am Hi - I'm in Adelaide and wondering how much it will cost to have 130 tonnes of spoil removed from our block. Can anyone give me some idea? Many thanks For info on our build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43093 Built the McLaren by Dechellis - slab down 22 Feb - handover 30 Aug 2011 - and gardens finished 9 Dec 2012!!

PM me your email. I have a build excavation calculator you can use based on your plans to double check what your builder is telling you.
