Basement costs realistically without excavation and removal?

Hello,

Regardless of the fact that the status quo probably cannot be changed anymore and assuming the excavation itself was part of the scope of work:
- was the disposal of the excess soil clarified before the contract was awarded?
- how was the general contractor commissioned for removal/deposit?
- or no contract at all, the general contractor just hauls it away and sends an invoice?

By the topsoil, you probably mean the topsoil, which is normally removed and stored on the property if space is available. For one meter of clay soil and the rest gravel (which will be reused), the price of roughly 22.00/m³ is already at the upper end of the scale.

Kind regards

I was on vacation and received the offer on Friday (but wasn’t there) and on Monday they started digging. I didn’t really have a choice and I never confirmed it.[

Gravel for backfilling was stored, no idea if there’s also some topsoil underneath/behind it.

Furthermore, according to the offer, almost €22 per m³ with roots would be due, although more than 20 m³ accumulated, it was not charged.

Why do the municipalities want money for that?

Although I was told that our stored excavation material would be sufficient, the same earthworm has now delivered 4 trucks of new sand to pile up around the house. Without asking, without order, without offer. Is that actually okay? What should I do now?
