Our earthwork estimating services cover all phases of earth-related work. From initial excavation to final grading and backfilling, we provide detailed and accurate estimates to ensure that every aspect of your earthwork project is planned for and executed smoothly. Here’s what we include in our estimates
We accurately estimate the volume of earth to be removed for foundations, trenches, or site prep by considering soil type, required depth and area, and disposal or transport of excavated materials, including any necessary soil testing or treatment.
We estimate costs for grading and leveling by accounting for site preparation, land contouring, and creating proper slopes for drainage, ensuring the ground is ready for a stable and well-prepared foundation.
We estimate costs for backfilling excavated areas with soil or gravel and for properly compacting the material, including labor and machinery, to ensure a stable and durable foundation.
We estimate costs for clearing trees, vegetation, rocks, debris, and existing structures, along with any necessary site stabilization like erosion control or soil treatment.
Our estimates cover machinery rentals for excavators, bulldozers, compactors, and graders, as well as labor costs for all earthwork phases, including specialized skills and required workforce.
We include costs for transporting and disposing of excess materials, and any additional expenses for recycling or salvaging soil, concrete, or stone when applicable.
