Excavation
Commercial and civil excavation across Melbourne, handled in-house. Fuchs operates its own machinery up to 13 tonnes and its own truck to deliver general excavation, site cuts and spoil removal without relying on subcontractors. For projects that also require plumbing or civil works, builders deal with one business across the full scope.
General excavation for commercial and civil projects of varying scale, from in-ground service trenching through to larger bulk earthworks. We handle tight-access digs where a full-sized machine cannot operate, as well as open-site excavation where output is the priority. Our machinery capacity runs up to 13 tonnes.
General excavation
Site cuts for new builds and developments across Melbourne. We work to the engineer's levels, coordinate with the construction program and complete the cut ready for the next stage of the build. Residential slabs, commercial footprints and civil packages all covered.
Site cuts
Spoil removal and site clean-up managed in-house using our own truck. Material is moved off site promptly so it does not become a hold-up for other trades. We also handle material delivery where required, using the same truck.

Questions we get asked
We work with builders and developers across Melbourne who want to understand exactly what is involved before they commit. These are the questions we hear most often.
-
Yes. Fuchs Plumbing operates across metropolitan Melbourne and surrounds. We work on commercial, education and residential projects throughout the region — from the inner suburbs to the outer growth corridors.
-
That's where our Komatsu PC55MR-5 excels. At 5.26 tonnes with a minimal swing radius, it's designed specifically for confined conditions — school sites, infill developments and commercial builds where a full-sized machine simply won't fit. We get the work done without disrupting surrounding structures or services.
-
Yes. We operate our own trucks, so spoil removal and material haulage is managed in-house. No coordinating a separate haulage contractor, we keep the job moving.
-
That's exactly what we do. Fuchs Plumbing provides end-to-end civil and plumbing packages — excavation, in-ground services, connections and roofing all under one contract. Builders get a single point of contact, coordinated crews and one less interface to manage on site.
-
We carry out service trenching for stormwater, sewer and water mains, bulk earthworks for site preparation, footing excavation, and general civil earthworks as part of broader plumbing packages. If you have a specific scope, get in touch and we'll work through it with you.
-
Yes. Our operators are experienced, licensed and fully insured. Fuchs Plumbing holds all required licences to carry out civil works in Victoria, and we work in compliance with Safe Work Australia standards on every site.
-
Contact us directly with your scope of works and we'll get back to you promptly. We work with builders, project managers and developers — the earlier you bring us in, the better we can coordinate the full package.
