GROUNDWORK WITH A PURPOSE
PREPARE THE SITE.
SET UP THE BUILD.
A strong project starts with understanding the ground, the access, and the work that follows.
Vortex provides excavation and associated site preparation for owners, builders, and commercial general contractors. We review the plans, existing conditions, and limits of work before defining the scope.
Planning concrete or structural steel too? We can review the scopes together so excavation, foundations, and the building sequence are coordinated from the start.

GRADING & SITE PREPARATION
Preparation and rough grading of the work area, coordinated with access, planned grades, drainage requirements, and the following trades.
TRENCHING & BACKFILL
Review of trench excavation and backfill scopes against the plans, utility locations, soil conditions, and access requirements.
MATERIAL & HAUL-OFF COORDINATION
Discussion of suitable on-site material, import or export needs, disposal, and access for equipment and trucks. Included quantities are defined in the proposal.
EXCAVATION. CONCRETE. STRUCTURAL STEEL.
ONE SITE.
A CONNECTED
SEQUENCE.
The excavation affects the foundation. The foundation supports the frame. We review the interfaces and responsibilities before mobilization.
Start your project- Plans, elevations, and limits of excavation
- Known utilities and required locates
- Soil information and testing requirements
- Equipment access, staging, and truck routes

Do you handle commercial and residential excavation?
Yes. Vortex provides excavation and site preparation for commercial and residential projects in Dallas–Fort Worth and North Texas. Contact us with your location and scope.
Can excavation and concrete be quoted together?
Yes. We can review excavation, site preparation, and concrete together. The written proposal identifies the work, quantities, and responsibilities included in each scope.
Can I get a price from square footage alone?
Area is a starting point. Excavation depth, soil conditions, access, utilities, material handling, and disposal can also affect the work. Plans, photos, and a site review help define the estimate.
