Excavation
Excavation
Starbuck Excavation, formerly known as Starbuck & Son Contracting, was established in 2007 by Director James Starbuck. Starting with just a single machine and truck, the company initially focused on site-cuts, small basements, and tram track repair works. James eventually hired his first full-time operator, who remains a valuable part of the team to this day.
Plant Hire
Plant Hire
Starbuck Plant Hire was founded in 2015 when James recognized an opportunity to enhance project efficiency by overseeing his own cartage and disposal operations.
Beginning with one owner truck driver, James was not only excavating his own jobs but also moving his own material. Presently, Starbuck Plant Hire dispatches over 100 tipper trucks daily, catering to both our internal operations as well as our clients’ projects. In addition to a diverse array of trucks, we also deploy owner operators equipped with machinery ranging from 1.7 to 80 tonnes, covering a wide spectrum of project needs.
