Thread: House Restumping

Hello, we have a weatherboard house in Belgrave Vic. The house is built on slope and we would like to excavate underneath to possibly build a basement, or at least gain more clearance. The house is approx 12m x 9.5m, and there is very little clearance underneath at the front. In one part, one of the bearers is resting on the ground. What we would like to do is excavate under the house, which will require a retaining wall at the front, and restump + replace the bearer resting on the ground. Due to the very low clearance, we realise it may require access through the floor, so we are prepared to pull the floorboards up if required / cheaper. I am wondering if anyone knows of some reputable companies in the Melbourne area who would be able to do this work. If anyone has done anything similar, would love to hear about it. Thanks
