Civil & services

Siteworks & new connections

A rebuilt home needs more than walls. Stormwater has to reach a legal discharge point, the sewer junction may need renewing, the electrical connection often comes back underground, and the driveway crossing must meet council's civil standards. These works bracket the build at both ends.

Scope

What this covers

  • Stormwater drainage, detention tanks where conditions require them, and connection to the street system

  • Sewer junction inspection and renewal coordinated with the water authority

  • New electrical supply arrangements, frequently converting an old overhead feed to underground

  • Driveway crossings, paths and ground-level works to the approval drawings

  • Landscaping items that the occupation certificate conditions call up

Timing

When it's needed

Some connection work precedes demolition, abolishing the old supply, while the rest lands late in construction. Treating connections as an afterthought is a classic source of handover delay, because utility and authority bookings carry their own queues.

Never enter a demolition site or a partially demolished structure, and never disturb materials you suspect contain asbestos, assessment and removal belong to appropriately licensed contractors. Keep children and pets clear of site fencing, and report damaged hoarding or exposed hazards to the site contact immediately.

Quote variables

What shapes the scope

Residential building work in NSW above the licensing threshold must be carried out by the holder of a current contractor licence issued by NSW Fair Trading, and contracts above the insurance threshold require home building compensation cover to be in place before deposits are taken. Check any licence number against the public register and ask to see the insurance certificate before signing.
