We don't
miss grade.
BD Excavation is a civil sitework contractor built for general contractors who are tired of scope gaps and surprise change orders. GPS grade control on the machine. Scope-complete numbers on the bid. A lean crew that shows up and moves dirt.
Full civil package, dirt to daylight.
One sub, one contract, one crew that owns the site from clearing through final grade.
Mass Grading & Earthwork
Topsoil strip, cut/fill balance, building pads, and final grade — held to GPS tolerance and verified with as-builts.
Storm Sewer & Detention
Storm mains, structures, underground detention and chamber systems, downspout drains, and subdrain — installed to plan invert.
Sanitary Sewer
Mains, laterals, manholes, and city-main connections. Sloped or shored to depth, bedded and backfilled to spec.
Water & Fire Main
Domestic service and fire line from the city tap to the building stub — fittings, valves, testing, and chlorination included.
Footing & Foundation Excavation
Spread footings, column pads, grade beams, and piers — dug to bearing elevation and cross-checked against the geotech.
Clearing, Demo & SWPPP
Land clearing and grubbing, site demolition, erosion control, and stormwater compliance from NOI to final stabilization.
Precision wins. Not price.
Most excavation bids are a guess with a markup on it. Ours aren't. Here's what's different when a BDX number lands in your inbox.
Every quantity confirmed
We run every plan set through an AI-assisted estimating system that reads every sheet, traces every pipe run, and flags every gap before we price it. What's in the plans is in the bid. What isn't, is stated as an exclusion — in writing.
GPS grade control
Machine-guided grading means pads, parking, and swales hit design elevation the first time. No re-work, no survey disputes, no schedule slip waiting on a fix.
Lean by design
Low overhead and no layers — your PM talks straight to the people running the work. The money big outfits spend on office stays in your budget instead.
From plan set to price — no gaps.
Send the plans
Email the civil set, geotech, and bid form to dirt@BDXcavation.com. That's the whole intake.
Full takeoff
Every sheet read, every quantity measured, every unclear dimension flagged and dollar-ranked — not assumed.
Scope-complete bid
Base bid, extras, and exclusions clearly separated. Geotech risk priced as a range, not buried in the number.
Built to plan
The crew that bid it builds it. Quantities verified in the field, changes documented same day.
The work speaks. This is it.
Shot on our jobsites — trenches, pads, mains, and grade. No stock photos, no staging.
Led from the field.
Troy Dyer
President. On site every day, in the seat when it counts. Runs the crew, holds the grade, and keeps the schedule honest.
Brendon Lochert
Builds every estimate, answers every bid question, and stands behind every number. If the scope changes, you hear it from him first.
