Core drilling for plumbing, electrical and HVAC penetrations, diameter and depth matched to the install plans, not eyeballed on site.

Under Victoria's crystalline silica regulations, concrete cutting is classified as high-risk work — and builders carry chain-of-responsibility exposure for every subcontractor's dust. Engaging a compliant specialist isn't a nice-to-have; it's how you take the risk off your site.
The 0.05 mg/m³ respirable crystalline silica exposure standard becomes a hard Workplace Exposure Limit. Procurement teams are already asking for compliance evidence — our documentation answers it on the first request.
Core drilling uses a diamond-tipped bit to cut a clean, round hole through concrete, brick or masonry — for plumbing, electrical, data and HVAC penetrations. Unlike a saw cut, the bit rotates rather than runs a line, which is what lets it drill straight through a slab, wall or ceiling with a finished edge on both sides.
Diameter and depth are set by the install, not the site. A pipe or conduit that's off by even a few millimetres either doesn't fit or leaves a gap that needs patching, so the hole gets drilled to the exact spec on the plans, not eyeballed against what looks about right. On suspended slabs and post-tensioned floors, the drill location is scanned first — cables and reinforcement sit where the drawings say, or they don't, and that's what a scan is for.
Every job runs the same sequence: confirm diameter, depth and location against the install plans, scan for services and reinforcement, drill with wet suppression and slurry containment to stay inside WorkSafe silica limits, then leave the hole clean and ready for the trade behind it. It's booked across builders and fit-out crews (service penetrations, plumbing and electrical runs), services contractors (plumbers, sparkies, mechanical and fire crews needing repeat coring), and healthcare and government sites (occupied-building penetrations scheduled around operating hours).
Email plans, markups or a description before 2pm. We quote from documents — you get your number the same business day.
We confirm an attendance window and supply SWMS and SRCP documentation before mobilisation — procurement-ready, no chasing.
Dust-suppressed cutting, slurry contained and removed, site handed back ready for the next trade. Your program never waits on us.
Occupied buildings, trading hours, live environments, procurement paperwork — the constraints that make generalists hesitate are the conditions we plan for.
Strip-outs, penetrations and slab openings across office, retail and warehouse projects — staged to your program, SWMS pack before mobilisation.
Occupied schools and public buildings — holiday-window and out-of-hours scheduling, with procurement-ready compliance documentation on first request.
Live clinical environments demand dust suppression, noise management and spotless handover — our silica controls are built for exactly this work.
Night works and staged cuts around trading hours — clean, quiet, and off site before the doors open.
Slab sawing, machine-base cuts and services penetrations in operating facilities — planned around production, not against it.
Road sawing, kerb and slab packages on mid-tier civil works across metro Melbourne.
Services contractor? Plumbers, sparkies, mechanical and fire crews run on our trade account — priority scheduling for high-frequency coring.
Every case study lists exactly what was cut, with what, under which constraints - because that's how estimators compare suppliers.
If cutting and coring is a weekly need, stop quoting from scratch. An MCC trade account puts your jobs at the front of the board.
Tell us your trade and typical monthly volume — we'll come back same day with how an account would work for your crew.

Yes — for most commercial work we quote directly from drawings, markups or a scoped description. Send them before 2pm and you'll have your quote the same business day. If a site inspection is genuinely needed, we'll tell you up front and book it fast.
SWMS, Silica Risk Control Plan (SRCP), insurance certificates and operator licences — supplied as a single pack before mobilisation. If your builder uses a compliance platform, we'll upload directly.
Wet-cutting with slurry containment and wet-vac recovery as standard on indoor and occupied-site work. Dust suppression is engineered into the method statement, not improvised on the day.
Yes — night works, weekends and staged cuts around trading hours or occupied floors are routine for fit-out and refurbishment programs. Tell us the constraints and we'll build the method around them.
Programs move — we get it. Give us the earliest notice you can and we'll re-lock your attendance window. Trade account holders get priority when the board reshuffles.
