ᐅ Excavation Costs in Bavaria .....

What determines whether the soil is removed or kept? I'm quite surprised that all our soil was hauled away at great expense and then filled with mineral concrete aggregate... whereas the neighbor kept all their clay soil and used it for backfilling?!

Using crushed concrete is a safer option because it prevents settling. With soil, even if you compact it thoroughly in a house with a basement, there is always a chance it will settle over time. We also used soil as backfill but obviously had to remove a lot since there’s naturally a lot of excess with a basement. In our case, crushed concrete is placed on top of the backfill, and then paving stones or terrace flooring are installed over that.

Ah, okay, now I understand a bit better (-;

Please share what the costs are.

We have received an offer of just under 13,000 euros for
- Excavation of the foundation pit and backfilling
- Removal of the excavated material
- Connection to the existing manhole
- Stormwater pipes including excavation work
- Utility lines including excavation work

A basement (excavation)?
With materials, for example, for the crane setup area, the surface for the foundation slab?
