Frequently Asked Questions About Excavation Contractors

Find answers to common questions about excavation contractors and hiring excavation professionals in the UK.

How do I calculate how much dirt I need for fill?

To calculate the volume of dirt (fill) needed, follow these steps:
  1. Determine the Area: Measure the length and width of the area you want to fill. Multiply them to get the area in square feet (or meters).
  2. Determine the Depth: Measure the difference between the existing grade and the desired grade (how much you need to raise the ground). This is the depth of fill required.
  3. Calculate Volume: Multiply the area (step 1) by the depth (step 2) to get the volume in cubic feet (or meters).
  4. Account for Compaction: Fill dirt compacts when it settles, so add 10% to 25% to the calculated volume to account for compaction. The exact percentage depends on the type of fill material.
For complex projects or uneven terrain, consult an excavation contractor or surveyor for accurate volume calculations.

Do I need a permit for excavation?

Permit requirements for excavation vary widely depending on your location and the project's specifics. Generally, permits are needed for:
  • Excavations Deeper Than a Certain Depth: This varies by jurisdiction, usually around 5 feet.
  • Excavations Near Utilities: Digging near buried utilities (gas, water, electric) often requires permits and utility locates to prevent damage.
  • Excavations Affecting Public Property: Projects impacting sidewalks, roads, or other public areas typically require permits.
  • Excavations in Environmentally Sensitive Areas: Projects in wetlands, floodplains, or other sensitive areas might need special permits.
Contact your local building department or planning authority to determine the permit requirements for your excavation project. Failure to obtain necessary permits can result in fines or project delays.

How much does it cost to excavate a basement?

Basement excavation costs can fluctuate considerably based on these factors:
  • Basement Size: The larger the basement, the more excavation is required, increasing the cost.
  • Soil Type: Excavating rocky or dense clay soil is generally more expensive than loose soil.
  • Accessibility: Difficult-to-access sites might require specialized equipment or more labor, driving up costs.
  • Foundation Type: The chosen foundation type (full basement, crawl space, slab) affects excavation needs.
  • Underpinning: If underpinning (strengthening existing foundations) is necessary, it significantly increases costs.
  • Disposal Fees: Hauling excavated soil to disposal sites adds to the overall expense.
Contact excavation contractors for detailed quotes based on your specific basement project.

What is the difference between excavation and grading?

While often used together, excavation and grading are distinct processes:
Excavation: Primarily involves removing earth or other materials from a site. It's about digging down and creating space.
Grading: Focuses on shaping and leveling the ground to a specific slope or elevation. It's about adjusting the existing terrain.
For example, you might excavate a foundation and then grade the surrounding area to ensure proper drainage and a level surface for landscaping.
