Clarify exactly what was permitted in your earthworks pricing is very important consideration..
Whether costing and presenting a bid, the Contractor should always visit the site to be sure that
there are no irregularities they may see or need to know about before the final price is submitted.
If you're on a steep slope or near to a neighboring property boundary, mark whether you've
allowed the excavation to bench, shear wall retention, propping, and any other ' risk of collapse.
'If you have priced a crew / team of guys based on a certain level of efficiency or a number of
days to complete the excavation works, then it might be a good idea to ensure that your pricing
requires the workers to have direct, undisturbed access and that the pricing does not require
unexpected ground conditions, water pumping from excavations, etc. Please state on your quote /
tender the exact documents cited by the customer for pricing so that there is no confusion or
misunderstanding about the drawing of revisions / specifications, etc. When you wish to use
another subcontractor to conduct the works as the contractor / subcontractor, then make sure that
you have predetermined / set negotiated rates for both the hire / operator of the plant per hour,
etc.
Architects and engineers must first consider the obtainable settings of the site when designing the
design and construction of a building. The assumed site is most often not flat besides needs to be
changed prior to any building commenced. Therefore, the cutting and filling procedure is usually
one of the first on-site building procedures. Next, there are parts on the web. The site is basically
allocated into land subdivisions at a defined static expanse apart, so we can look at each sector
independently. Based on the topography of the region, section cuts are made to precisely
characterize the land being appraised. The topography map defines the land's current inclines and
helps us to draw in our segment cuts site elevations ( see figures 1-3).

Figure 1: Topography map.
Rising line on the chart of topography reflects a 10-foot altitude change. So the 0 ft. segment (the
red dotted line above) in elevation looks like this:
Figure 2: section 0 ft.
Then we get the succeeding paragraph for the actual site elevation by eliminating the elevation
