OUR SERVICES
At Saw & Core, we combine the latest technology and machinery with decades of hands-on experience to deliver professional concrete cutting and drilling services across both commercial and residential projects.
Hand Sawing (Quick Cuts)
Hand sawing is ideal for small or hard-to-reach areas where traditional floor sawing equipment can't reach. It’s fast, controlled, and perfect for jobs that require flexibility without compromising precision.
Common uses include:
- Pool surrounds
- Garden shed slabs
- Pathways and channeling
- Square kerbs and edging
We use high-performance hand saws to deliver clean, controlled cuts, safely and efficiently.
Core Drilling
Core drilling is used to create smooth, circular holes through concrete, brick, asphalt or stone. Using high-performance diamond-tripped drill bits, it can be carried out at any angle, including horizontal, vertical, and overhead.
Typical applications include:
- Walls
- Ceillings
- Roofs
- Bridges
- Tunnels
- Road surfaces
Essential for both new construction and renovation projects, core drilling is commonly used to create openings for plumbing, electrical conduits, HVAC systems and other utilities.
Wall Sawing
Wall Sawing offers a clean, precise method to cut openings in vertical concrete surfaces such as walls, retaining structures and panels. Using track-mounted diamond blades, we can achieve clean, straight cuts with minimal vibration.
Best suited for:
- Door and window openings
- Openings for ventilation and ductwork
- Renovation and modification works
- Retaining wall adjustments
- Stairwells and lift shafts
- Controlled demolition
Wall sawing is perfect for civil, commercial, and industrial projects that require accuracy and care. Whether you're building new or modifying existing structures, Saw & Core delivers dependable, professional results.
Floor Sawing
Floor Sawing is used to cut horizontal surfaces such as slabs, asphalt and roads.
Whether it is for expansion joints, trenching or full-depth removal, we use powerfdul, precision-guided floor saws to deliver clean, accurate cuts.
Typical projects include:
- Cutting slabs for plumbing, electrical, or drainage access
- Road and driveway repairs
- Expansion joints in large concrete pours
- Trenching for utility installation
- Removing damaged sections of concrete or asphalt
- Creating control joints to prevent cracking
Our advanced equipment and experienced operators ensure fast, safe, and reliable results with minimum discription to surrounding surfaces.
Soft Cutting
Soft Cutting is an early-entry concrete sawing method designed to prevent cracking in freshly poured slabs.
We use specialised soft cut saws to create control joints typically within the first 1-2 hours of setting.
Typical uses of Soft Cutting:
- Commercial and industrial slabs
- Decorative or exposed concrete
- Large slab pours
- Tilt-up panel casting beds
- Warehouse, car park, and driveway slabs
Soft cutting helps maintain surface integrity and improves long-term durability by controlling where cracks form.
