Why developers keep work moving with us
Repeat support available
We can help with one visit or return as the build reaches later stages.
Trade aware digging
Our experience helps us prepare excavations with the next trade in mind.
Useful site versatility
Footings, trenches, drainage and clearance can be planned together.
Reliable excavation support for active sites
Developers need groundwork that fits the programme, not work that creates delays. At M & M Man & Machine, we carry out owner operated mini digger excavation for property developers, supporting anything from single site tasks to regular work across a project. From Southam, we help with footing trenches, drainage digging, service runs, general excavation, site clearance and smaller formation work where a controlled machine and steady operator make all the difference. Our 40 years in the building trade give us a practical understanding of site timing, handovers and what follow on trades need from a tidy excavation.
Clear scope, steady timing and tidy handover
To get the digging right, we ask for drawings, depths, widths, access information, datum or level details where relevant, and a clear idea of what should happen to spoil. We then plan the visit around the stage your site is at and leave the area ready for the next team to step in. At M & M Man & Machine, we keep pricing straightforward and communication direct, which is especially useful when plots need more than one excavation task or when the same operator is returning across several visits.
Frequently asked questions
What information do you need from a developer?
Drawings, footing sizes, trench routes, access constraints, level information where relevant and the planned stage of the job all help. We also need to know what should happen to the spoil and whether the excavation is a single task or part of a wider programme.
Can you support more than one stage of a project?
Yes. Some sites need a one off dig, while others need repeat excavation as the programme moves on. We can return for later footing work, drainage digging, service runs or site preparation, helping keep the same practical approach across the project.
Is this suitable for smaller developer plots as well?
It is. A mini digger with operator can be a good fit for smaller plots, tighter access and controlled excavation where larger plant would be awkward. We can talk through the site and decide if the setup suits the type and scale of work you need.
