Excavation · Same day
What to write the day you send a foundation excavation estimate
A same-day note is optional. It is not one of the three scheduled follow-ups. Use it when you are not sure the foundation excavation estimate for $15,000 arrived, or when one point from the visit is easy to forget.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Skip it if you already talked it through
If you handed over the paper and walked the job, another email that night is noise. Excavation bids wait on access for the machine and on a locate ticket that is not in yet.
What the recap should say
Name what the price includes: dig, haul-off of the spoil, and backfill after the walls are poured. Name what it leaves out: utility locates you still need to schedule, and rock if we hit it. Is the locate scheduled, and can the truck stage on the street? Do not include unknown rock in a firm price.

Your foundation excavation estimate from Rossi Excavating
Hi Martin, I sent the foundation excavation estimate for $15,000 earlier today. It includes dig, haul-off of the spoil, and backfill after the walls are poured. It does not include utility locates you still need to schedule, and rock if we hit it. Is the locate scheduled, and can the truck stage on the street? Thanks, Gabe Rossi Rossi Excavating
