Excavation units
Excavation units are standardized measures used in construction to estimate and bill for excavation work. They quantify the volume of soil, rock, or other materials to be removed, typically expressed in cubic yards or cubic meters. These units help contractors plan resources, costs, and timelines for digging projects like foundations, trenches, or basements. By calculating excavation units accurately, project stakeholders ensure precise project management and budget control. Overall, they serve as a common metric for assessing and communicating the scope of excavation activities in construction projects.
