Here's a full 20 minutes of looking at a Cat 315C excavator digging a basement. The crew is currently digging the front porch area of the house. If you listen close you can hear the operator talking to the grade checker about how high or low he is.
For the in cab footage:

+movindirt It's all engineered fill so it's hard as a rock but you're right, it really cleans up nice.

Diesel and Iron I’ve noticed it’s sad ppl expect professional results from new guys to often in so lucky to have found a boss they said you will perfect it in time can’t get good at something unless you fuck up something first haha

Chad Kline he probably is not overloading the bucket to prevent spoilage around the truck. I commonly fill bucket to level to minimize material loss.

What does the company charge for something like this?

@DieselandIron 2 жыл бұрын

Depends on a lot of factors. Does dirt get left on sight and graded or does it need to be hauled off? Is it a traditional poured basement or is it a precast Superior Walls basement? Size of the basement will also play a large role. On the low end you are probably looking at $8-10k for a basement dig and backfill.

@@DieselandIron Where do you start usually when you start a basement. Is there a starting grade stick with starting elevation?

@DieselandIron 2 жыл бұрын

@@chrisjames7603 where you start will depend on site conditions and where you need dirt. If you plan your dig up front then you can save a lot of time and effort when you grade the lot. Elevation will either be determined by an engineering firm (mostly in subdivisions) or set by the homeowner and dirt contractor.

Bought a house in 2018, sold it earlier this year, sitting on the money waiting for the market to calm down. I'm either going to build or buy something.. if I build, I'd like for you to quote (if you do work in Ohio). If not, best of luck to you anyway!!

@@billsmith9249 I appreciate the offer! I actually don't have any equipment but feel free to reach out. I'd be up for digging a basement and walking people through the process, start to finish. Maybe we can work something out with renting a machine locally.
