Excavation Contractor Serving the Bay Area Since 2005

Every construction project in the Bay Area — from a new ADU foundation to a pool installation to a retaining wall on a hillside lot — begins with excavation. Best Construction Inc performs residential and commercial excavation throughout the Bay Area with the right equipment for every site condition: mini excavators for tight residential lots with limited access, and full-size machinery for larger commercial excavations and hillside grading. We submit 811 underground utility locate requests before every project, work closely with structural engineers on footing excavations, and manage all soil export and disposal. Our 19+ years of Bay Area excavation experience means we know how to read local soil conditions and work safely on the challenging terrain that defines so many Bay Area properties.

Why Excavation

Precision Excavation for Every Application

Over-digging wastes material and money. Under-digging creates foundation problems. We read the plans, call 811 before every dig, and excavate to the specified dimensions — no more, no less.

Equipment for Every Scale

From mini excavators for tight residential lots to full-size machinery for commercial sites — we match equipment to the job.

811 Underground Utility Locates

We call 811 and wait for utility marking before every dig — protecting underground gas, water, and electrical lines on every project.

Hillside & Challenging Terrain

Bay Area hillside lots require specialized equipment, shoring experience, and awareness of soil stability. We have all three.

Material Hauling & Export

Excavated soil is loaded and exported to permitted disposal or fill sites — or saved on-site for grading if your project requires it.

Our Process

Six Steps. Zero Surprises.

From first call to final walkthrough — here's exactly how your project moves forward.

Step 1

Plan Review & Layout

We review your structural or grading plans and mark the excavation boundaries precisely on site.

Step 2

Utility Locating

811 locate request is submitted and utilities are marked before equipment moves.

Step 3

Excavation

We dig to specified dimensions and depth, monitoring soil conditions throughout.

Step 4

Material Management

Excavated material is stockpiled or hauled, depending on project requirements.

Step 5

Grade Verification

Bottom and sides of the excavation are verified against the engineering plan before we leave.

Step 6

Inspection Coordination

We coordinate with your structural engineer or building inspector for footing or foundation inspection as required.
