Before construction begins

A clean site is where good construction starts.

Before any construction project can begin, the site needs to be cleared, stripped, and prepared. Trees, vegetation, old structures, debris, and topsoil all need to be removed or relocated. A poorly cleared site leads to foundation problems, drainage issues, and construction delays.

METCON manages site clearing as the first stage of proper construction planning. We clear vegetation, remove debris, strip topsoil, and prepare the ground to the level and grade needed for the next stage of construction.

Whether it's a suburban block with overgrown vegetation, a commercial site with old structures and debris, or a development site requiring full clearing and grading, we prepare the ground so construction can start right.

Site Clearing
Is this you?

Six signs your site needs professional clearing

If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a free site visit. We will tell you straight what your site needs.

Overgrown block with trees and dense vegetation

Trees, scrub, and ground cover need proper removal with stump grinding, root extraction, and vegetation disposal.

Old structures, sheds, or debris on site

Remnant structures, concrete slabs, old fencing, and accumulated debris all need removal before construction.

Council tree removal approval required

Many Sydney councils require specific approval for tree removal. We manage the application process.

Site needs levelling or regrading

Uneven sites need cut-and-fill, grading, and compaction to achieve the design levels for new construction.

Erosion and sediment control needed

Cleared sites need erosion control measures, silt fences, sediment basins, and stabilised access, before and during construction.

Topsoil stripping and stockpiling required

Good topsoil can be stockpiled on site for later landscaping. Bad topsoil or fill needs testing and potential removal.

Our process

Cleared. Graded. Ready to build.

Every site clearing project follows our structured five-step process. The site is assessed, cleared methodically, and handed over construction-ready.

Site Assessment

We inspect the site, identify trees requiring council approval, locate services, assess access, and understand the design levels needed for construction.

Permits & Approvals

Tree removal permits, council notifications, and environmental controls organised. All approvals obtained before clearing begins.

Clearing & Stripping

Vegetation removed, stumps ground, debris cleared, and topsoil stripped. Work progresses methodically across the site with waste sorted and removed.

Earthworks & Grading

Cut-and-fill to design levels, site graded for drainage, compacted, and erosion controls installed. The site takes shape for construction.

Handover

Site cleared, levelled, and ready for construction. Survey confirmation of levels, erosion controls in place, and access established.

A construction-ready site, not just a cleared block.

Proper grading, compaction, erosion control, service locations, and survey confirmation. Ready for foundations, not just visually cleared.

What our clients say

Rated 5.0 by Sydney clients.

5.0

Real reviews from homeowners, strata and builders.

We're a strata block and needed a retaining wall replaced urgently. METCON moved fast, communicated well, and the residents are very happy.
PSPriya Sharma North Sydney
I called three builders and METCON were the only ones who actually came to look at the site before quoting. Honest pricing, no surprises.
LCLisa Chen Randwick
We got three quotes. METCON was not the cheapest but was clearly the most thorough. Worth every dollar.

Site Clearing FAQ

Common questions.

Straight answers from the builder. Anything else, just ask.

Do I need a permit for demolition work?

Yes, most demolition work in NSW requires approval. Internal strip-outs may be exempt in some cases, but partial and full demolition typically require a Development Application or Complying Development Certificate.

Additional requirements may include:

  • Asbestos surveys
  • Waste management plans
  • Notification to adjoining property owners

We handle all permits and compliance requirements.

Can you remove asbestos?

We coordinate licensed asbestos removal as part of our demolition and renovation services. All asbestos work is carried out by licensed removalists in line with SafeWork NSW regulations.

If your property was built before 1990, there is a chance it contains asbestos, so we always arrange appropriate testing before starting demolition or renovation work.

What is included in your quotes?

Every METCON quote is fully itemised and includes:

  • Scope of work
  • Materials and specifications
  • Labour costs
  • Excavation and site preparation
  • Drainage (where applicable)
  • Engineering fees
  • Council application fees
  • Project timeline and payment schedule

There are no hidden costs. What we quote is what you pay, unless you request changes to the scope.

What happens if something goes wrong during the build?

Construction can sometimes uncover unexpected issues, especially on older properties or difficult sites.

If we find something outside the original scope, such as hidden asbestos, unstable soil or structural defects, we tell you immediately, explain the options and give you a clear cost for any additional work before proceeding.

You are never hit with surprise bills.
