Thank you Daniel & the Hadasa team. I definitely recommend Hadasa Contracting & Excavation. Great service
If you're looking for a reliable and skilled contractor in Toronto area , I highly recommend Hadasa Contracting. They truly deliver exceptional work and outstanding customer service.
Last year a contractor took a job for building a retaining wall in my backyard, dug two huge pits and never came back. As the pits were there all winter and they did nothing to secure we had huge landslide causing damage to my and my neighbours' properties. Upon calling that company multiple times and not getting any help from them we decided to termiate the contract with them and hire Hadasa to fix the damage and finish the walls. Hadasa came to our rescue. They fixed all the problems and compleated the wall. Very good people, they know there stuff and go above and beyond to help their clients. Thanks Daniel and team. I will defenitly hire them in the future if I need them.

When my first contractor bailed on the project leaving me with a very short timeframe to get the job finished, Hadasa C & E stepped right up and got it done. In spite of weather issues, they completed my project in time, paying attention to the small details and providing me with a top quality concrete pad. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again for any additional work I need done.

SITE PREPERATION

Unlike most urban properties, projects located in undeveloped areas or on forested land may need to be cleared before any construction begins.

These sites can be heavily covered in trees and brush that need to be removed. The lands may have undesired grades and require regrading creating a clear workspace. Often importing gravel and clean soils, new access roads are made.

Hadasa Contracting can help you prepare your construction site to necessary grades and standards that you require before starting your project. Servicing Markham, Newmarket, Richmond Hill & Greater Toronto Area (GTA), as the first contractors on site, we’ll start your project off right!

QUESTIONS WE’RE OFTEN ASKED

Prior to starting an excavation, all underground utility and service lines should be marked. When hiring Hadasa Contracting for your excavation project, we take care of this part. “Call Before You Dig” is a service provided in Ontario, that will come to site and mark all water, gas, hdyro lines as well as any internet and phone cable lines that are buried underground. They also provide a report for reference. Although these markings aren’t always perfect, they provide a basic benchmark for the type of digging that should occur (machine vs. hand). If a complicated area needs to be dug under, a vac truck might be required to clear out the area from dirt and debris safely, without compromising these service lines.

Yes, generally you do need a surveyor. The surveyor will mark out the area of excavation and the depth of which we’re excavating. They will also mark out the elevations when putting in foundations and sewer services. The operator will need this information to complete the excavation work.

There is an exception to needing a surveyor. If you have a small area that needs to be excavated, and you know the exact location, and required depths, then you as the owner must mark out these points. We can excavate off these markings but it will remain your responsibility.

Our estimating usually includes the cost of exporting soils materials off-site. However, if the customer chooses to provide trucking, the cost can be deducted from our total.

Even with careful planning and execution, clients can run into unexpected obstacles on site that can add additional costs.
Some examples include:

  1. Bad Soils – not meeting compression strengths required to construct footings (the ground is too soft), requiring engineered soils.
  2. Rock/ Bed Rock – during excavation, bedrock or large boulders can be found and require time consuming removal
  3. Contamination – on older properties where oil was used to heat the homes, we find buried fuel tanks that need careful soil remediation and costly hazardous waste removal.
  4. De-Watering – naturally high water tables can require constant pumping and additional gravel to maintain a simple workspace.

Depending on the time of year, it’s common to run into heavy rainfall. There are two main concerns when it comes to this.

  1. Building inspectors require that footings be poured on undisturbed soil. Rain will cause the subsoils to turn into mud which must be removed.
  2. Excavations that do not require shoring may, after heavy rainfalls, fail or collapse and need to be re-excavated. We always tarp the walls to try to avoid erosion from the rain.

Our general excavation quotes includes backfilling using stored soils on site, and imported if necessary. It also includes setting the area to a rough grade. As with most excavation contractors we do not provide fine grading (for landscaping) or seeding/ sodding services, this is something a landscape contractor would have to be contacted for.

As a general rule, excavation costs depend on the type of equipment to be used, and the time it will take to complete it. Smaller machines have a lower cost per hour. Accessibility will dictate the size of the machine that can be used. We charge a minimum for 4 hours plus 2 hours for drive time. All our rates will include an operator with the equipment. A 1.5 ton mini excavator costs $100/ hour.
