Making finance easy

When banks and other lenders proved difficult for a fledgling earthmoving company, equipment finance specialist Finlease stepped up to the mark.

Started up two and a half years ago, NSWbased Dalwick Contracting has made a name for itself as earthmoving specialists for various kinds of civil and residential work across the Great Sydney area and regional NSW, as well as the ACT, Queensland and Victoria.

The company was the brainchild of director Trent Dalzell, who, having worked more than 15 years in the construction industry in various capacities, felt he was experienced enough to start up his own business.

“My first job was as an operator on a roadwork project, and I moved into other roles in drainage, sub-divisions and the like,” he said.

“Having accumulated so much knowledge, I felt it was a good time to make my own mark in the earthmoving field.”

Dalwick began with a main focus on retaining walls, excavation and haulage, but such has been its growth that it has now has expanded into doing “any type of excavation”.

“This encompasses basement digs, rock sawing/grinding , major civil and construction works , subdivisions, road works, rural works , mulching, land clearing, dam construction and liners, hourly hires, dry hires, augering/piers, site preps, and everything in between,” he said.

Building retaining walls are still a particular point of expertise. “We do are any form of gravity wall (precast/sandstone/gabion) and post and panel walls/sleeper walls,” Trent said.
