What We Quantify for Foundation Excavation Estimating
Our estimators extract every physical component from architectural, structural, and engineering drawing sets, leaving zero scope to guesswork:
- Itemized foundation excavation estimating material, fixture, assembly, and accessory takeoff from PDF/CAD/BIM plans
- Foundation over-excavation, structural select import fill, compaction lifts & haul-off trucking
- Utility & footing trenching, provincial OHS trench-box shoring, rock ripping/hammering & dewatering
- SWPPP silt fence, inlet protection, rip-rap, hydroseeding, and segmental/CIP retaining walls
Critical Bid Risks Prevented
Contractors lose profit when hidden elevations, missing addenda, or unpriced coordination items are overlooked. Our dual-estimator review actively catches:
- Ignoring 15–25% soil swell on export truckloads or 12–18% compaction shrinkage on import structural fill
- Subgrade lime/cement stabilization hidden in the geotechnical report rather than civil plan notes
- Rock horizon depth and groundwater dewatering wellpoints near coastal or riverine sites
