Testimonials

Bert replied to our query fast and efficiently. He arrived on time, took photos and had a quote for the work back to us in a few hours. The work was then completed well within the time frame he promised. He sent photos and communicated well (we live off site) I rarely give a 5 star. This company is worth it.

I can’t speak highly enough of the Excavat team. We are thrilled with our driveway. Thank you Bert and the crew.

Thanks to Bert and the team at Excavat. You did a fantastic job resolving our landscaping issue, and now we have a solid building platform for the new X Span shed house. I recommend Excavat to anyone. Great team, great workmanship, great results!

A massive shout out to Bert and his team. He has been great to work with and has an awesome team of incredibly hard workers. They have been with us from the beginning of the build. They’ve done a bit of everything, and also worked on our landscaping and lastly the drive. Full of good advice, quick and efficient, and everything is left so neat and tidy.

Personally we have only used these blokes to dig a hole for our large 4m in ground trampoline, Joel was in and out within 3.5hrs quick to return phone calls and a gentleman to work with considering the miniscule size of the job, I have more recently observed them working on a large scale commercial building project which involved numerous contractors and H/D machinery, [Monkeytoe H.O Taranaki] what has impressed me is the professionalism of the operators, there friendly out going demeanor and honest communication style .... all go from get go type of dudes.
