Our Services

  • Creative Excavation

    Built for Precision. Designed for Vision.

    Creative excavation for the architectural eye.

    Not all earthworks are created equal. When your project demands accuracy, finesse, and creative thinking, you need a team that understands the art of shaping space — even in the tightest or most complex environments.

    At Stoic Projects, we specialise in detailed excavation — from tight access sites and small-scale shaping to final-finish cuts and architecturally sensitive groundwork. Whether you're preparing for a bespoke build or installing critical services, we ensure every line, level, and contour is right the first time.

    We serve Byron Bay, Brunswick Heads, Bangalow, Mullumbimby, Lennox Head, Ballina, and beyond, delivering site-ready results that match your design intent and engineering standards.

    With advanced machinery and a team that thrives on precision, we bring your vision to ground level — literally.

    We work with a variety of materials — including rock, concrete, timber, and block systems — and tailor every wall to suit the site's terrain, drainage needs, and design intent. From structural retaining for construction sites to garden walls that complement your home, we bring technical expertise and creative vision to every build.

    Operating across Byron Bay, Brunswick Heads, Bangalow, Mullumbimby, Lennox Head, Ballina, and the wider Northern Rivers, we also offer integrated landscaping services, helping transform cleared or newly developed blocks into finished, usable spaces.

  • Effective Drainage Solutions

    Control the Flow. Protect the Foundations.

    With Stoic Projects, you can count on smart, site-specific drainage that works — rain or shine.
