The hole has to be right. Dig-outs for new builds, additions, and basement work.
Everything built on top depends on the dig. Paul runs the Volvo himself and works to your drawings and grade stakes, so the footprint, depth and slopes match what the builder or engineer asked for.
New house, garage, addition or walkout, the approach is the same. Walk the site, plan where the spoil goes, dig clean, and leave a base your forming crew can work from without cleanup.
The Volvo 160 class excavator does most foundation digs. At about 16 tonne it has the reach and power for deep, wide cuts. The Kubota handles tight additions beside existing walls.
Paul looks at access, soil, slope and where the spoil can go, and reviews your plans or stakes with you.
You get a free quote after the walk. It covers the dig, hauling options and backfill if you need them.
Paul digs to the depths and lines on your plan, checking grade as he goes so the base is ready for forms.
Once your foundation is done and cured, we come back and backfill and rough grade around it.
Usually your municipality requires a building permit before excavation starts. Check with them first. If you are not sure what applies to your lot, we can help you sort it out on the quote.
Yes. Bring the plans and any grade stakes. Paul digs to the dimensions and depths shown, and tells you straight away if something on site does not match the drawings.
It depends on the site. Clean spoil can be piled on the property for backfill and grading. If it has to leave, we can arrange trucking and let you know on the quote.
Yes. Utility locates are needed before any digging starts. Call before you dig, and we will go over what to expect on the quote so nothing delays the start date.
Foundation, driveway, trench or a lot that needs clearing. Send a few details and Paul will get back to you with a price and a start date.
