FAQ
What should be done before excavation starts to avoid delays once machinery arrives?
The biggest time-saver is making sure the site is accessible and clearly marked out before work begins. Any approvals, site plans, set-out pegs and level requirements should be confirmed early so there’s no guesswork on the day. It also helps to identify hazards like overhead lines, tight access points, soft ground or nearby structures that could limit machine movement. If spoil needs to be removed, it’s worth planning where it will go, or where trucks can safely load and exit.
How is the correct excavation depth and level confirmed for a building pad or slab?
Depth and levels are usually confirmed using the project plans and set-out points, often with pegs or reference markers provided by a surveyor or builder. Machinery operators typically work to those markers, checking height and fall as they go to avoid over-cutting or leaving high spots. On sloped sites, the cut and fill approach needs to match the required finished level, not just “make it flat”. If the excavation is for a slab or footings, it’s important the base is consistent and ready for the next trade to verify before pouring.
What can cause excavation costs to increase after the job has started?
Unexpected ground conditions are a common cause, like rock, buried debris, saturated soil or unstable areas that need extra work to make safe. Access issues can also slow things down, especially if machines need to be smaller or material needs to be moved in stages. Changes to the scope mid-job, such as extra digging, deeper cuts, or added trenching, will usually increase time and cost. Spoil removal can also add up if more material comes out than expected, or if disposal requirements change.
