Earthworks on Bidly — frequently asked questions
How are earthworks jobs priced?
Either by the cubic metre, by the hour for plant, or as a fixed price for the full scope — Bidly supports all three rate types.
Do earthworks bidders include geotechnical testing?
Most do not. Post a separate Civil Engineering job for geotech if you need formal compaction testing.
Can I get a survey done first?
Yes — post under Civil Engineering or Architects for setting-out and surveys before earthworks.
Is rubble disposal included in earthworks bids?
Specify the disposal scope in the job description; some bidders include it, others quote transport separately.
How big a site can Bidly contractors handle?
From a single-stand foundation to multi-hectare bulk earthworks. National earthworks firms bid on the larger scopes.
