As a project manager from small to large scale civil construction, I can highly recommend Peard Excavation. Holly & Toby are great to deal with from the tendering stage of a project right through to the site works with their highly skilled team. Their out of the box thinking and working hard with us to get the job complete is exactly what anyone wants from an excavation company.
DETAILED EXCAVATION.ANY SITE. ANY ACCESS.
Foundations, trenches, tight backyards. We bring the machine and the operator — you point, we dig.
Detailed excavation is where mistakes get buried and discovered later — when they're expensive. Peard brings experience, the right equipment, and close operator attention to every detailed dig.

WHAT'S AT STAKE WITH DETAILED EXCAVATION.
OVER-EXCAVATION
Removing too much material means expensive engineered fill, failed inspections, and programme delays.
LEVEL ERRORS
Foundations out of level create issues that ripple through every trade above. Concrete, framing, and fitout all suffer.
SITE DAMAGE
Heavy machines operated carelessly in tight spaces damage existing structures, services, and neighbouring properties.
HOW WE DO DETAILED EXCAVATION.
DESIGN REVIEW BEFORE BREAKING GROUND
We review your engineering plans and have Holly cross-check levels before a bucket touches the ground.
RIGHT MACHINE SIZE
We use our smaller machines (tight-access) for tight detailed work. Big machines in small spaces cause problems. We don't force it.
LASER AND STRING LINE CHECKS
Levels checked throughout — not just at the end. Errors caught early cost nothing. Errors caught at inspection cost thousands.
CLEAN HANDOVER
We hand over a clean, level, formation-ready excavation. No loose material, no over-dug corners, no mess for the next trade.

What our clients
actually say.
I have worked with Toby Peard for over 8 years on new builds and renovations in the wider Bay of Plenty area. He is extremely experienced and knows what he is doing. Get him involved in your next build from day 1 — you won't regret it.
Stroud Homes Bay of Plenty has been working with Peard Excavation since our very first build. We have never had any issues and have never had to look elsewhere for our earthwork and excavation needs.
Peard Excavation ensures that site and retaining works continue alongside each other. This reduced our timeframe and saved valuable dollars.
