Our Promise To You
Many of our clients are business owners, developers, or project managers who want to build a
new building from the ground up. The problem is which excavation contractor to trust with such
a daunting task. We empathize with the challenges in making this choice.
Our promise to you is to provide a transparent process through the many steps required. We
understand how quickly a project can be slowed to a crawl, and become grossly over budget.
With our 4 decades of experience and an Engineering background, our plan is to:
● Understand the goals, desires, and budget constraints.
● Use our vast experience with government regulations to avoid timely and costly pitfalls.
● Provide a project on time and within budget.
The outcome will be a project in which the owner, the builder, and the management
professionals can be proud to have been involved.
If you choose us
The excavation subcontractor is normally the largest financial part of a ground-up construction
budget. Typically running between 10% to 20% of the total costs. It also has the most unknowns
that can result in costly change orders and time delays. We recommend that you hire your Site
Contractor as early in the construction process as possible. If you choose us we will advise on a
site location, review utility options, and prepare preliminary budgets.
Please give us a call today for a no-cost Site Work assessment.
