For principals & civil contractors

How clients work with 1800 Mr Excavate

We supply operators only — experienced, ticketed and insured people for your plant. Knowledge is our asset, and knowledge is what we share. The 1ME platform keeps booking, safety and billing in one place.

Service area: from our Denman base across the Upper Hunter, the Hunter Valley and north to Tamworth — civil, construction, plumbing and farm works. Sites more than 80 km from Denman attract LAFHA or paid travel. See the towns we cover. Always lodge a Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) enquiry before you break ground.

Three steps

1. 1
   Book — machine, dates, scored pick

   Tell us the machine and dates. See available operators (not on other jobs) with tickets, skill, preferences, recent safety activity and a score only you can see. Selecting one places a soft hold.

2. 2
   Agree terms and submit a PO

   Accept the operational pack and standard T&Cs. If the site is over 80 km from Denman, choose LAFH or travel paid. A purchase order is required to send the request to the office.

3. 3
   Office confirms → work on record → invoice

   We confirm onto the roster (LAFH/Travel tagged). Prestarts and hours are logged. You get a tax invoice that matches the day, with safety docs attached when available.
