Excavation

Moving dirt to the right line, on the right grade, in the right order.

What excavation actually involves

Excavation is the first trade and the one that sets the grade everything else follows, and the one where underground surprises are most expensive. Utilities are located before digging, always. Trench safety is code, not caution.

Excavation

What to plan for

The decisions that shape a excavation project, and the ones that get expensive when they're made too late.

Utility location before digging is non-negotiable.

Trench safety is a code requirement.

Grade and compaction set the foundation's conditions.

Dewatering may be required on wet sites.

How a residential project runs with us

A clear sequence is what keeps a excavation project on time and on budget.

  1. 1

    Site walk & assessment

    We look at conditions, access, and what's behind the surfaces before we quote, the part underneath usually decides the scope.

  2. 2

    Fixed-price scope & quote

    You get a written scope and a number tied to it. The price moves only if the scope does.

  3. 3

    Permitting & scheduling

    We pull the permits the work requires and sequence the trades so the building stays dry and on schedule.

  4. 4

    Build & close-out

    Crews protect your home, do the work, and leave it broom-clean. We walk it with you before we call it done.

How we handle excavation

We excavate to grade and compaction, with utilities located and trenches safe.
