# Excavation in Rhodes

We dig foundations, basements, pools and utility trenches to the depth and dimensions your engineer specifies, and haul the soil away in our own trucks.

## What we excavate
We excavate for new builds and extensions anywhere on Rhodes, from a single trench to a full basement.

- Foundation excavation for homes, hotels and commercial buildings
- Bulk excavation for basements and underground parking
- Swimming pool and water tank excavation
- Trenches for drainage, water, power and pipework
- Excavation in tight spaces, using a smaller excavator where a large machine will not fit

## Rock and sloping plots
Across much of Rhodes there is hard limestone just below the soil. When a dig hits rock, we carry on with hydraulic breakers on the same site, with no need for another crew.

On sloping plots or plots with difficult access, the site visit settles where the machines go in and where the trucks stand, so the work is done safely.

## The soil leaves the site
We load and haul the excavated material in our own tipper trucks. If you need some of the soil for backfill or the garden, we set it aside and spread it at the end.

When the dig is finished, the excavation is handed over clean and at the right levels, ready for the next trade.

## Frequently asked questions
**Do I need a permit to excavate?**
Excavation for a new building is usually covered by the project's building permit. Your engineer knows what applies to your plot, and we work from their drawings and instructions.

**How much does excavation cost?**
It depends on the volume, whether there is rock, the access and how far the soil has to travel. After a free site visit we give you a written quote.

**How soon can you start?**
The start date is written into the quote, based on our machine schedule. For urgent work, call us on +30 694 726 7953.
