About LCB Contracting
Started with one machine.
Built on word of mouth.
Lucas Badcock has been around dirt, machinery and hard work his whole life. Born and raised on the North West Coast, he picked up his first contract at 19 with a 2 tonne excavator, clearing blocks and taking whatever jobs came his way.
That single machine became a fleet of excavators, tipper trucks, rollers and a water cart, run by a small crew cut from the same cloth: local operators who grew up on this coast. When you call LCB, you talk to Lucas. When the machine fires up on your site, he's in the cab or standing next to it.

What clients say
Ask the people we've worked for
“LCB cleared and prepped our building pad ahead of schedule. The levels were spot on and the site was left immaculate. We won’t use anyone else on the coast.”

“Reliable, honest and genuinely good operators. They built our farm dam exactly to spec and explained every step. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

Questions, answered straight
The things people ask before they book an excavator.
How do I get a quote from LCB Contracting?
Call, email, or use the quote form on this site. For most jobs Lucas will look at the site in person or from your plans and return a written, itemised quote, usually within a few business days. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Do you charge hourly or fixed price?
Both, depending on the job. Defined scopes (a house pad, a driveway, a demolition) are usually quoted as a fixed price so you know the cost up front. Work without a defined scope, such as clearing where ground conditions are unknown, can run on hourly rates. Either way, the price or rate is agreed in writing before we start.
Are you insured?
Yes. LCB Contracting Pty Ltd carries full public liability insurance and operates under current Tasmanian WHS requirements. Certificates of currency are available on request for builders and project managers.
Can you organise other equipment or trades if the job needs them?
Yes. If your job calls for gear or trades beyond our own fleet — larger specialised machines, concreters, plumbers, traffic management or other subcontractors — we can organise and coordinate them through our local network as part of the job. You still deal with one contractor from start to finish.
What areas do you service?
We’re based in Devonport and work daily across the North West coast: Burnie, Ulverstone, Penguin, Latrobe, Port Sorell, Sheffield, Wynyard and surrounding districts. But we service anywhere in Tasmania. For the right job we float machines statewide, from Circular Head to Launceston and Hobart.
Who will actually be on my site?
Lucas Badcock, the owner, and a small local crew. The person who quotes your job is the person in the cab or standing beside it. No layers of project managers, no subcontracted mystery operators.
Do you only work for builders, or do you take private jobs too?
Both. We do major earthworks packages for registered builders and construction companies, and we take private jobs directly — driveways, house site preparation, block clearing and farm work are where the business started and are still core work. No job is too small to quote.
