Basements
Basement excavation and bulk dig for new homes, extensions and below-ground living—safe, accurate cuts with proper battering and site management.
Basement and sub-floor excavation demand precision: you need clean batters, stable sides and a level floor ready for your builder and structural engineer. Anderson & Sons excavates for basement slabs, under-house digs and stepped foundations across residential and rural builds in Melbourne's northern shires.

Our Approach
We bulk out the pit, trim batters to specification and manage spoil on site or cart off excess where space is tight. Our excavators and attachments are suited to tight blocks beside existing structures—where access, vibration and neighbour boundaries matter. We coordinate with your builder on depth, setbacks and temporary batter stability before slab and retaining work.
Whether you are adding a lower level to an extension or starting a new home with a habitable basement, we bring the same earthmoving discipline we use on dams and large site cuts: clear communication, safe trench and pit practice, and equipment sized for the job.
We service Nillumbik, Murrindindi, Mitchell and Whittlesea shires—including Hurstbridge, Panton Hill, St Andrews, Arthurs Creek, Whittlesea, Smiths Gully, Cottles Bridge, Kangaroo Ground, Nutfield, Kinglake, Strathewen, Flowerdale, Humevale, Eden Park, Glenburn, Upper Plenty, Yea, Alexandra, Yarck, Healesville, Lilydale, Eltham, Seymour and Broadford.
