R Con Civil builds the civil infrastructure that turns a cleared site into a working subdivision across Canberra and the ACT. On jobs from a single lot up to multi-lot estates, we put in the road access, underground services and final grading before lots are handed over.
Subdivision works are the core of our civil infrastructure work. Scopes range from a single lot through to estates of around 100 lots.
A subdivision civil package can cover:
Civil subdivision work starts with the approved drawings and the hold points set by the council or certifier. We dig and form to those drawings, keeping trenches and road corridors clear for the next trade.
As subdivision contractors in Canberra, we plan the sequence so earthworks, trenching and road access move in step. That keeps the site open for the trades that follow and cuts the number of contractors a developer has to coordinate.
Underground services for a subdivision usually include stormwater, water and other utility corridors shown on the engineering drawings. We dig and reinstate the trenches as part of the civil package. Service trenching uses the same crews as the bulk earthworks, so it can follow on once the site is at level.
Depth, alignment and bedding follow the services drawings. The ground is reinstated once the pipe crew has finished, so the next stage of the subdivision can go ahead.
Pits, pipes and culverts sit with our stormwater drainage work, and water mains with water reticulation. On a subdivision, both line up with the trenching on the same program.
Road access into and through a subdivision has to be built to the levels and widths on the drawings before lots can be handed over. We form the access and bring in the pavement build-up where it is part of the civil package.
Final grading is the last civil pass before a builder takes over a lot. Bulk cut and fill for the overall site shape runs as earthworks, and a road built as a job in its own right runs as road infrastructure.
As civil infrastructure contractors in Canberra, we work to council and utility requirements from the first drawing review. We price and build to the approved civil drawings, and each stage is tracked against the hold points on the job.
A civil package with us usually runs like this:
Where part of the scope would run better as a separate drainage, water or road job, we say so before pricing is locked in.
Developers often want one civil contractor to cover the ground works, service trenches and access roads. Keeping the civil stage with one firm means one program and one contact.
Our side tippers, truck and dogs and prime movers move fill and spoil to the program, and our water carts handle dust and compaction water on open ground. Those movements are booked with the earthworks, so the trucks follow the site program.
We work from Hall, on the edge of Canberra, and take on suitable subdivision work in regional NSW. Regular NSW work areas include:
