Digging, earth-moving and foundations.

Finally, we decided on a company to do the digging and foundation work, lay the drains, sewers and waterpipes, and do the landscaping. Haaf is a company which offers everything you need for this, and the main reason for choosing them was the fact that they have their own quarry and recycling depot. The stones for the foundations are from recycled concrete in two different size categories, and when the price per tonne is 50% cheaper than the main competitors who don't have their own quarry, this tells us two things: There is a hell of a mark-up on stones and sand, and that makes a hell of a difference when you need about 900 tonnes.
If they do the job well they may well get the contract for the paving around the house.
