Excavation & Site Preparation

Built from the
ground up.

Complete excavation and site preparation for residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional construction—from site clearing and bulk earthworks to foundations, underground services, grading, backfill, and construction-ready subgrades.

Service Overview

The right start
below the surface.

Every successful build starts with properly prepared ground.

We coordinate excavation around surveys, engineered elevations, soil conditions, underground services, drainage, access, and structural requirements.

Whether preparing a new development, addition, foundation, or property for redevelopment, the focus stays on accurate excavation, organized site control, and a clean transition into construction.

Excavation at engineered site elevations
Excavation Services

Earthwork planned around
the site conditions.

Six distinct scopes cover the work from first stripping through construction-ready subgrade.

Bulk site excavation and earthmoving
Earthworks

Site Excavation

Bulk excavation, cut-and-fill operations, building pads, material removal, soil handling, stripping, and earthmoving for new construction, additions, expansions, and redevelopment.

Excavated foundation area
Foundations

Foundation Excavation

Footings, foundation walls, grade beams, pile caps, elevator pits, basements, retaining structures, and equipment foundations.

Underground service trench and rough-in
Infrastructure

Services & Trenching

Trenching for water, sanitary, storm, electrical, gas, communications, drainage, and other underground infrastructure.

Grading

Grading & Drainage

Rough and final grading, slope correction, swales, drainage preparation, and establishment of required site elevations.

Granular subgrade placement
Subgrade

Backfill & Compaction

Engineered fill, granular placement, backfilling, compaction, and preparation for foundations, slabs, roads, parking, sidewalks, and landscaping.

Site Preparation

Clearing & Construction Access

Clearing, stripping, demolition support, foundation removal, working platforms, haul routes, equipment access, and preparation of work areas.

Planned Before the Excavator Moves

Site conditions
determine the approach.

Existing utilities, soil, groundwater, neighbouring structures, access, haul routes, elevations, and sequencing influence how the excavation proceeds.

Survey & Layout

Limits, benchmarks, property constraints, and required elevations.

Utility Locates

Existing underground services identified before excavation.

Soil Conditions

Geotechnical requirements, engineered fill, handling, and disposal.

Access & Logistics

Equipment access, staging, haul routes, and site circulation.

Drainage & Water

Surface water, groundwater, and dewatering where required.

Work Sequence

Coordination with services, foundations, concrete, and following trades.

Our Process

Existing grade to
construction ready.

Review

Understand the site.

Review drawings, surveys, geotechnical information, utilities, elevations, access, and excavation requirements.

Prepare

Establish the work area.

Coordinate locates, equipment, access, haul routes, staging, safety requirements, and material management.

Excavate

Build to elevation.

Complete excavation, trenching, earthmoving, grading, backfilling, and compaction to project requirements.

Turnover

Open the next phase.

Verify grades, prepare subgrades, complete backfill, and leave areas ready for services, foundations, paving, or finishes.
