Hello,
could you please let us know if you find the quote for the removal of our excavation soil acceptable.
It is estimated to be 150m3 (about 195yd3) of fairly clayey soil.
In addition to the €3175, there is a disposal fee of €21.42 per m3 (€21.42 per m3).
Thank you very much in advance.

Just for comparison, I paid nearly €630 gross for disposal of 72 tons.The contractor has already hauled away 52.3 tons because all the excavation material didn’t fit. We paid €785 for that. From what I can tell from the invoice, the landfill fee was €6 net per ton... but how many tons are 150 cubic meters?

But for a solid mass of excavated soil (clay and silt), here in the western tip of the country, we estimate about 1.8 tons per cubic meter (1.8 tons per 35 cubic feet).

Payment based on actual or scheduled hours?The quote says "based on actual quantity." It then depends on how many trucks are servicing the construction site and how quickly. The size of the trucks and the distance to the dumping site also play a role. If the excavator waits half an hour after each load for the next small delivery vehicle, costs will add up. Where we are, no one would think of making such a vague offer. But this may vary by region.

The size of the trucks and the distance to the unloading point also play a role. If the excavator waits half an hour after each load for the next small truck, it will get expensive. Where we are, no one would think of making such an unspecific offer. But that might vary regionally. This might be because part of the excavation soil could possibly be dumped at neighbors’ properties. They just don’t know how much yet.
