Civil engineer calculates excavator performance by tons - experiences?

So, I have received these offers (excluding VAT):

1.) €17/ton -> transport included, cannot maintain high frequency.

2.) €25/ton -> transport included, can maintain high frequency.

3.) €31/ton -> offer from the civil engineer, who delivers the soil to 2.)

We estimate we have 1000 tons.

The additional charge of €6/ton for loading into the trucks is a thorn in our side and could have been considered in the cost calculation.

It feels like we’re paying almost twice as much with the civil engineer.

We are considering whether to postpone the construction by 2 weeks and have most of the work done by a friendly excavator operator.

If that is a realistic option then definitely!

We excavated our construction pit of 500t ourselves (two weeks ago). Rental of excavator (13t) including diesel for 2 days = €1100 gross

You would still have to calculate hourly wage*8h*2 days and would have the total cost.

Note, we managed excavation and construction in two days, so only excavation in two days should be realistic for you.

I also consider the price to be a rip-off and recommend looking for alternatives. We have paid a maximum of 25 EUR per CUBIC meter including digging, hauling, and disposal. Although that was relatively cheap, there were also comparable alternatives. Similarly, there were also offers at the price level of the one you mentioned :( Rip-off artists.

We have now stopped the excavation at the end of this. 1m below street level, the general contractor takes over the digging.
