FAQ
Common questions about excavation estimating services in Canada
What scopes are included in your estimates?
We estimate cut & fill volumes, trenching, foundation pits, utility trenches, backfill, grading and site prep aligned to your project drawings and specifications.
Do you estimate for different project sectors like residential, commercial and mining?
Yes. We customize our takeoffs by sector—residential foundations, commercial site prep, bridge approaches, industrial pits, environmental remediation and mining scale excavation.
How do you calculate cubic meter quantities?
We use accurate digital surface models (DSM) and grade plans to calculate excavation and fill volumes. Our calculations include volumetric takeoffs and equipment productivity factors.
Do your estimates include soil type and disposal assumptions?
We review geotechnical data to include differentiation for topsoil stripping, unsuitable material, rock excavation and haul/disposal costs when applicable.
Do you estimate utility trenching and backfilling?
Yes. Our estimates cover trench excavation, bedding material, pipe backfill, compaction rates and trench restoration in accordance with Canadian codes.
How do you account for environmental and safety considerations?
We quantify erosion control, sediment protection, dewatering, shoring and hazardous soil management items to ensure your bid meets site specific regulations.
Do you adjust for regional climate and working seasons?
Yes. Our estimates consider frost depth allowances, seasonal restrictions, soil freeze, thaw cycles and logistical delays based on local Canadian regions.
What will I receive with the estimate?
You will receive detailed takeoff reports in Excel or PDF format, complete with annotated plans, volume summaries and breakdowns by drawing or phase.
Can I get estimates broken down per phase or building area?
Yes. We can segment sitework quantities by phase, zone, or structure footprint to match your construction schedule and manage materials more efficiently
Why outsource your excavation services?
Time and cost savings. Get specialized estimators to deliver fast, code compliant and sector specific takeoffs without adding staff.
