Frequently Asked Questions

We excavate for full basements, crawl spaces, slab-on-grade, pier and beam, and custom foundation configurations. Each dig is tailored to the structural engineer specifications.
In Gallatin County, frost depth typically requires footings to be set at 48 inches or deeper. We follow all local building code requirements and engineer specifications for every project.
A standard residential foundation dig typically takes 2-4 days depending on soil conditions, size, and access to the site. Rockier lots in foothill areas or larger commercial foundations can take longer. We give you a specific timeline during your free estimate.
Most foundation work tied to new construction requires a building permit, typically pulled by your general contractor or builder. We coordinate directly with your team and the county to make sure excavation depth and timing line up with inspection requirements.
