Say goodbye to labour shortages and build the team that delivers.
Rather than miss out, you can:
Your reputation is worth too much to risk hiring an inexperienced excavation contractor.
The builder had contracted for a large ICF (insulated concrete form) building. Without delay, the site required comprehensive site work to prepare for the foundations, including the construction or installation of all underground structures outside of the building envelope.
Changing scopes during construction were managed with little downtime or impact on other teams.
The contractor achieved a well-structured site enhanced with correct and documented utility, drainage and septic systems, ready for its final construction work.
A contractor upgraded a residential property, including a new, larger front entrance, walkway, and landscaping. However, before that work could begin, it was necessary to remove the old concrete slab, stairs, and walkway. This needed to be done carefully, without damaging the existing porch and the space below.
The slab and the main floor exterior brick were structurally supported on the same foundation wall. We removed the old, attached concrete while preserving the existing front porch and brickwork that will be visible above the new slab. To complicate matters, we had to do this below a large roof overhang with only 2.2m of vertical clearance. Moreover, we needed to ensure that we dropped nothing damaging onto the finished interior floor below. In spite of the challenges, we successfully removed the concrete porch slab by cutting and lifting the slab in pieces.
Meanwhile, during the new porch excavation stage, we discovered two reinforced concrete wing walls supporting an earlier set of concrete stairs hidden below the newer one. We carefully removed these without any structural damage to the foundation.
The contractor benefitted from a done-right excavation that not only protected the residential structure but also created a solid base for its entrance walkway and landscaping work. Furthermore, all of this was accomplished within the original scope of work and budget.
The contractor was developing a huge horse show riding and training facility. Resultantly, the site now needed comprehensive work. This included, among other things, installing all underground utility and drainage structures outside the building envelope.
The original gravel driveway suffered from washout issues; consequently, large ruts formed when it rained. To address this, we redesigned the surrounding drainage. Specifically, we corrected the slope and added ditches to redirect the runoff to a more suitable area.
The contractor had a stress-free, on-schedule experience. Additionally, they gained a correctly prepped lot with improved drainage, as well as sustainable driveways and parking areas. As a result, the contractor is confident in managing their warranty obligation risks.
