NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION

NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION

Excavation is the first step in preparing to build a new home. In most cases lenders will not even approve a loan until a licensed excavation company has provided a thorough quote.  If you’re in the market for a brand-new home, you’ll likely need the land clearing services of an excavation contractor. Here, the experienced team at Drew Excavating in Vancouver, WA, explains some of the factors that go into excavating the land for your new build.

After a building project is approved by the local authorities, the land must be surveyed and staked before any ground can be moved. Clearing the natural landscape, including trees, shrubs, large rocks, and obstructions, must take place first. With the land properly prepped, our excavation team can begin digging the foundation for the home.

Excavation is much more than just digging a plan for the homes foundation. It requires years of experience in the northwest to estimate the appropriate amount of earth to move for your home’s foundation. After the land is dug, the soil must be properly graded and drained. Grading the soil involves creating a level base upon which to build.

What is the cost for Excavation?

Every excavation project is different,  every location presents its own unique challenges. For example, it may not be possible to access a location with large machinery such as a backhoe loader or excavator; there may be the risk of subsidence or there may be large trees and hedges that need to be removed. The amount of slope on a piece of land or the amount of soil that needs to be removed can both greatly affect the total excavation cost. Because of unknown variables the price of excavation varies which is why we provide a free onsite quote for all projects. Factors affecting the quote include:

  • Type of work involved (clearing, grubbing, grading, trenching and digging)
  • Accessibility
  • Size of project (the amount of soil to move)
  • Length of project
  • Geographical location, including proximity to natural habitats for rare or endangered species
  • Time of year
  • Transportation of dirt and shrubbery offsite, if required
