Prepare the below-grade building area
Basement excavation creates the work area required by a building project’s plans. It needs to be considered alongside the footprint, existing grades, access and handling of excavated material. Redline provides the excavation service with attention to the practical relationship between the site and the construction phase that follows.
Project photos
Basement excavation through foundation work. These photos show basement excavations completed by our owner, including an excavated footprint with footing trenches and reinforcement in place. Another view shows basement wall forms during foundation construction. They illustrate separate stages of the work; your estimate should identify whether you need excavation only or concrete foundation work as well.
Start with plans and the intended use
Share the basement or building plans available to you, the project location and the proposed building area. Tell us whether the site is open or surrounded by existing improvements. Those details help define what the excavation needs to accomplish and where coordination with other project work is important.
Site conditions that shape the scope
Access into the work area, adjacent buildings, existing slopes and observed water conditions can affect planning. Material movement and working space also need consideration. The agreed scope should clearly explain the excavation work and how the area will be left for the next phase.
