Residential excavation

Residential Excavation in Vancouver, WA

Single-family and multi-family excavation for residential builders and homeowners. Digging, grading and utility groundwork, handled by a crew that runs itself.

01The job

The dirt crew sets the pace for everyone after it.

On a production job, if the pads are off or the utilities aren’t in, framing waits, and so does every trade behind it.

We dig foundations and basements, cut building pads, run utility groundwork and grade lots on single-family and multi-family projects across Clark County and the Portland metro. The same long-term crew works lot after lot, so the standard on the fortieth lot is the standard on the first.
