How long does site preparation take in Ottawa?
Most residential site prep and foundation excavation in Ottawa takes 2-5 days depending on size, soil conditions, and whether basement excavation is needed. Rural properties may require additional access work. We provide a specific timeline after assessing your Ottawa property.

Can you dig basements in Ottawa soil?
Yes. We evaluate soil stability and water table conditions before digging in Ottawa. Franklin County soil varies across rural properties, so we assess each Ottawa site individually to determine the best approach for basement excavation.
