€3/m3 seems very, very low to me... we had a significantly larger volume of excavation and paid much more... however, we were also charged by the hour (excavator including operator).

€3 would mean that the 210 m3 of excavation would only cost just under €600?!? The volume corresponds to over 300 tons (for us the factor was 1.8-2.0 since it was rocky)... as a rule of thumb, an excavator usually manages about 0.5x horsepower = m3/hour... that is hardly achievable in 6 hours and the hourly rate for such an excavator is certainly not less than €100 (including operator)... not to forget diesel consumption... however, this is just my amateur opinion.

Are you even allowed to add that much fill? What does the building permit say about that?

According to BP, that is no problem; we really have no other choice than to create a level area for the terrace in the garden.

Yes, that is also very cheap. We obtained 3 offers. 2 offers were around 6€ per m3 and the third at 3€ per m3.

However, we also requested disposal but asked for the items accordingly separated in the service specification.

Since we are loading 1,600 m3 and disposing of 1,400 m3 of that, we will certainly get a better price for the pure excavation than someone who only requests 200 m3.

paid driver + machine per hour, then you are safe. calculate with 120-140/h net. unless you have difficult ground, then I would do a fixed price.

That is also exactly the range we were in... and we had significantly more than 1200m3, so quite a substantial amount.

Again... I can hardly imagine 3€/m3... we alone paid nearly 500€ (net) for the delivery and pick-up of the excavator... the 600€ for 200m3... no entrepreneur would do that, especially not in the current situation.
