About O’Connell Earthworks
O’Connell Earthworks are a family-owned business with over 34 years experience in the earthmoving and home building industry servicing the Greater Sydney Area. As a husband and wife team, we pride ourselves on providing a reliable, trustworthy, and high quality service to our many valued clients, with not only what we do every day but what our subcontractors do when we engage them.
Over these 30 + years, we have built a strong established business simply by word of mouth. We believe you must earn your reputation and you do this by being consistently what you say you are.
Because it matters. It’s what you do day in day out that counts not what flashy advertising promises.
It’s about walking the talk. And that’s what we are about.
We also have strong reliable connections within our industry, these ranging from individual home owners, small to large home builders, concreters, plumbers, other excavators, material supplies, and truck hire affiliates.
We are down to earth people, who treat each job like it is our own. Your job matters to us. Building a home is one of the largest investments, people will make in their lifetime, financially as well as emotionally, and knowing this, this is why we do our very best because it matters.
We are perfectionists in each of our areas that we are responsible for and always own what we do.
Together we do our very best to achieve the results you need to get your site ready, as we are generally the first trade on site. If you have a strong foundation anything is possible and as such we ensure your foundation for your build is completed to a high standard and in line with council and builder requirements.
This means your project has a great start and that matters.

Our Directors
Darryn Vigurs
Darryn has an amazing eye for levels, an ability to foresee future issues with land stability, drainage site safety, and a deep understanding of what the next trade needs to do their job properly. This only comes from doing what you love for many many years and still loving it. This in turn saves you time as often avoids future mistakes or issues.
Darryn often says “I just push dirt” but any builder knows, that’s a definite understatement of what a great Excavator is. He has an affinity with his machines which translates into completing the job in a quicker timeframe without affecting the quality of work. He was trained by his father Len (a former concreter) in his apprenticeship starting at 16 years old, this means Darryn knows what a concreter needs on site, so they can do their job and this matters, as it affects how your job flows on from there.
April Vigurs
April works behind the scenes, with her vast experience in finance, leadership, communication, counselling, and business management, she has an eye for detail and is a natural problem-solver. She believes in strong, honest working relationships with builders, sub-contractors, and clients. She has a strong understanding of how the building industry works and ensures that each job complies with Work Health Safety (WHS) and builder requirements. Safety is essential in our industry and as such April works with our sub-contractors to ensure a high level of standard is completed safely on site every time. She also ensures all our machinery is regularly inspected and serviced so we are able to turn up to site and do the job with minimal machinery issues.
