FAQ

Have questions about our commercial services? Here are the answers to the most common things clients want to know before work begins.

What is the "PSE Difference" regarding project delivery?

The "PSE Difference" comes down to our vertically integrated capability, transparent pricing, and 100% client commitment. We own our fleet, our quarries, and our disposal facilities, providing a single point of contact and total control over project timelines, quality, and costs from start to finish.

Do you handle residential projects like driveways and retaining walls?

Yes, absolutely. While we are known for large-scale infrastructure, we have dedicated local teams for residential projects. We handle the entire process from start to finish, including driveways, structural rock walls, site clearing, and house foundations, particularly across South Canterbury, the Mackenzie Basin, Central Otago, and the West Coast.

How do I get a quote?

You can easily request a quote by filling out the contact form on our website, or by calling our team directly on 0800 773 2002.

Is any job too small for Paul Smith Earthmoving?

Not at all. While we are known for large infrastructure, we have dedicated local teams specifically for residential projects. We regularly handle private driveways to commercial prep, landscaping, rock walls, and house foundations (by scale, particularly in South Canterbury, the Mackenzie Basin, and the West Coast).

Do you provide paperwork for the Council?

Yes. Once the work is complete, we provide disposal dockets and validation reports. This documentation is essential for updating your property file and satisfying future buyers or council requirements.
