What to send while a foundation excavation waits on approval
Send this when the bid is stuck on another person, a board, or a permit. Ask what they still need from you, then wait.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Who is holding it
The builder, not the homeowner, often has to accept the access plan.
What you can hand them
The price is $15,000 and includes dig, haul-off of the spoil, and backfill after the walls are poured. Excavation bids wait on access for the machine and on a locate ticket that is not in yet. Do not include unknown rock in a firm price.

What does the approver need on the foundation excavation?
Hi Martin, If someone else still has to approve the foundation excavation, I can resend the $15,000 estimate in whatever form they need. Tell me what they ask for. I will not keep emailing while you wait on them. Thanks, Gabe Rossi Rossi Excavating
