What goes wrong on Aldgate jobs, and how it is avoided
The problems listed come off this ground and this housing stock rather than a generic list. Each one changes the scope, and each is priced as its own line rather than buried in a rate.
01
Ground: friable hill loam over shale, waterlogged in gullies through winter, which decides the cut, the batter and the cartage.
02
Levels: steep, treed and terraced — flat ground in Aldgate is something you build, not something you buy, so the cut is taken to finished levels in passes.
03
A scope that named one job on the quote and delivered another on site
04
Access or levels discovered after the price was agreed, forcing a variation
05
Work sequenced out of order, so finished surfaces are trafficked by the next trade
06
Drainage left to chance, so the finished work moves or ponds in its first winter
07
A boundary detail agreed verbally with one neighbour and disputed by the other
How it goes
The order the work happens in at Aldgate
Work is sequenced from the access point inward: strip-out and vegetation removal first, then the cut taken to finished levels in passes, and the pad laser-levelled and plate-compacted before anything is built on it. At Aldgate, access is typically steep, narrow driveways and limited turning room — materials often move by smaller loads or machine relay, so machine size and delivery staging follow that rather than the finished drawing alone.
01
The site: Overgrown, cluttered, unusable — the 'before' that most Adelaide backyards start from.
02
Machine on: A tight-access excavator walks on. Site protection goes down where access crosses paving or lawn.
03
Strip-out: Vegetation, stumps and old structures come out — cut, grabbed and stockpiled for loading.
04
Topsoil: The topsoil layer is scraped to expose stable ground beneath.
05
Load out: Trailer and truck cycles cart spoil to an approved disposal facility. Every load is counted against your booking.
06
Laser level: Levels are checked with a rotating laser — falls set for drainage, pads set flat.
07
Complete: A clean, level, compacted pad — ready for turf, paving, concrete or construction.
