Hello,
we will be excavating in week 24. The basement is 8x11 meters and has a raw structural height of 2.37 meters. I assume that the material is suitable for backfilling again. Other houses in the development area revealed sandy soil.
The ground is at ground level and lies slightly below the planned future level. Roughly estimated, I come to 270m³ of excavation. I think 50-100m³ can be distributed on the property to achieve a level just above the street. (A bit hard to say, as there are a few dips in the property)
The rest should ideally go directly to the landfill at €16.50/m³ (including transport), as storing it on the neighboring property also causes costs of €7.50/m³.
Where did you dispose of your excavation material, and what did you pay? I have also registered on the county's excavation exchange, but I think the chances are rather slim there.
We have about €30,000 as a buffer for additional foundation costs (+€10,000 if needed for a waterproof basement, light well drainage, and drainage), but of course I want to keep costs as low as possible.
And who has possibly gained experience with distributing excavation and topsoil? Is DIY even reasonable considering the volume?
Best regards, Daniel
