Before We Dig
Good excavation starts before the first scoop of soil is removed. We look at your ground, slope, access and site layout to plan the right work for your property. This helps us prepare the land for foundations, basements, pools, driveways and other construction needs.
The right ground preparation also makes it easier to move equipment around your property. We plan where excavators and trucks will work and keep the site organized during the job. From land excavation and earthmoving to soil removal and site preparation, we handle the work in a clear order so your project can move ahead without avoidable delays.
Our Work Steps
Your excavation work should have a clear and simple process. We review your property, prepare the site, complete the digging and clean up the work area. This keeps the job organized and helps you move on to the next stage.
Your home project needs a solid and ready site before work begins. We provide residential excavation for new homes, additions, basements, pools, drainage work and utility lines.
Our team plans the ground work around your property and the needs of your project.
Building a new home starts with a properly prepared site. We handle the excavation and ground work needed to prepare your lot for the foundation and other construction work.
A home addition may need new foundation space and changes to the existing ground. We dig and prepare the area so your addition can move ahead with a suitable base.
Basement work often needs careful digging and soil removal. Our team handles basement excavation based on the space, depth and access needed for your project.
If your home has a sloped yard, a walkout basement can need extra excavation. We shape and clear the area to support the basement layout and outdoor access.
Planning an in-ground pool in your backyard? We excavate the pool area to the required depth and size and remove the extra soil from the work area.
Your home may need new drainage or underground utility lines. We provide trenching and excavation for services such as drainage, water, sewer and electrical lines.

Your property and project have their own needs, so excavation should not follow the same plan every time. Monobuilt works with homeowners, builders, contractors and developers in Markham to plan excavation around the property, site access, ground conditions and construction work ahead.
We look at the space available, access for equipment and the type of work planned before excavation begins. This helps us choose a practical way to handle the job and keep the work area organized.
From residential properties to commercial sites, excavation can involve different amounts of digging, earthmoving and material removal. We adjust the work to suit the size and needs of your project.
From vision to structure – Where Creativity Meets Construction Excellence.
Your commercial project needs a well-prepared site before construction can begin. Our commercial excavation team handles the ground work needed for new buildings, site development, parking areas, utility lines and property upgrades.

Water, sewer, drainage and electrical lines need space below the ground. We provide utility trenching and trench excavation to help prepare the paths for these services.
Older properties may need changes before new work can start. We remove unwanted material and carry out the needed earthwork to prepare the property for redevelopment.

→See Our ServicesBefore any digging starts, your property needs to be ready for the work. Good access gives excavators and trucks enough room to reach the site. Existing water, gas, sewer and electrical lines should also be checked before digging. Soil type, ground level and excavation depth can affect the work, especially for basement excavation, foundation work, pools and utility trenches.
Drainage and soil removal are also important parts of the job. Proper site grading can help move water away from your home or building, while planned dirt removal keeps the work area clear. The size of your project will also affect the equipment needed for earthmoving and excavation. Planning these details early can help your project stay safe, clean and on track.
Keep enough room for excavators and trucks to reach your property.

Excavation Costs
The cost of excavation in Markham depends on the work your property needs. A small home project may need less digging and equipment, while basement excavation, foundation work, or a large construction site can take more time. Soil type, digging depth, site access, grading, equipment, and soil removal can also change the final cost.
As a general guide, smaller excavation jobs may cost around $1,500 to $6,000, while larger basement, foundation, or construction projects can reach $10,000 to $30,000 or more. Extra work such as earthmoving, dirt removal, backfilling, or difficult site access can add to the cost.
The best price comes from looking at your actual property. We can review the site, discuss your plans, and give you a quote based on the excavation and site preparation your project needs.
| Excavation Type | Cost Range | Main Cost Factors |
|---|---|---|
| Residential Excavation | $1,500 to $6,000 | Site size, soil, access |
| Foundation & Basement | $10,000 to $30,000+ | Depth, soil, soil removal |
| Construction Excavation | $15,000 to $30,000+ | Site size, equipment, earthwork |

Common Questions
Planning excavation work can bring up questions about cost, permits, timing, and the type of work your property may need. These common questions can help you prepare for your project and know what to expect before the digging starts.
Excavation costs depend on the size of your property, digging depth, soil type, access, equipment and amount of soil to remove. Basement excavation, foundation digging, pool work and large construction projects can all have different costs. The best way to get a clear price is to have your site checked and receive a project-based estimate.
Some excavation work may need permits or approval, depending on the type and location of your project. This can apply to foundation work, new construction, major property changes, or work near public areas. Before digging, check the local requirements for your project. Your excavation contractor can also help you identify what needs to be arranged.
The time depends on the size and type of work. A small backyard excavation may take much less time than foundation excavation for a new home or a large construction site. Soil, weather, site access, digging depth and soil removal can also affect the schedule. A site review can give you a better idea of the expected time.
We provide excavation services for many residential and commercial projects. This includes site preparation, foundation excavation, basement digging, pool excavation, grading, trench excavation, utility work, demolition and removal and soil removal. The right service depends on your project and property. We can review your site and plan the ground work needed for your next construction stage.
Yes. Excavation can leave a large amount of dirt and other material on your property. Soil removal and hauling can help keep your work area clear and ready for the next stage. The amount of material, site access and type of soil can affect the removal process, so these details should be planned before the excavation begins.
