Excavation · What changed

Ask what changed on a foundation excavation

Send this if they hinted the work is different from the walkthrough. Revise the bid after you know the new scope.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

What the old price covered

dig, haul-off of the spoil, and backfill after the walls are poured. Left out: utility locates you still need to schedule, and rock if we hit it.

Do not guess a new number

Haul-off and access are the price. Rock is extra because nobody knows it until the bucket hits it. Do not include unknown rock in a firm price. Is the locate scheduled, and can the truck stage on the street?

If you send it from QuoteLasso

Did the foundation excavation change?

Hi Martin,

Has the foundation excavation changed since I priced it at $15,000? If it has, tell me what is different and I will revise it.

Is the locate scheduled, and can the truck stage on the street?

Thanks,
