What happens here

Utilize heavy machinery, specifically excavators equipped with hydraulic hammers or grab attachments, to systematically remove the collapsed concrete blocks and surrounding soil from the exterior basement wall. Work carefully to avoid further damage to the remaining structure or nearby utilities. Continue excavation to expose the entire damaged section of the foundation. Manually clear any remaining debris using shovels and rakes, preparing a clean base for the new wall installation. The removed soil and concrete debris are loaded into dump trucks for off-site disposal.

Goal: Clear the area of collapsed wall and soil to prepare for new construction.

we'll just have to uh first phase is try to get a bunch of this concrete off out of here and then this is the support holding up the floor and this end of the building that uh this is sitting against right now so might have to get crafty and start sledgehammering you know this that's away yeah and then if I can get a little dirt but the only problem is once you start moving any of this stuff and it pushes this into here we might want to just try to break this free and clear at least like to hear and that looks like the only spot they may have core filled I don't think they cornfield this looks like it is right here the one right there well I mean if that one's if that bits core filled I'll just cut it up on the other side of the core field and we can take this bit that's up against some plastic we're gonna be doing any type of cutting down here I want to get some plastic stapled in along this back edge here yeah yeah I don't think we're gonna do any cotton it's just going to be up there along the asphalt maybe I won't even cut that yet but no it'd be nice to get a little pull a little bit of get a little bit of room up top to work open it up a little bit so if we can get another three feet up there two three feet so it'd probably be best to start with kindness probably saw cut that start pulling that away I just don't want anything to come down and hit this but I don't like that that did shift since last time we were here that got pushed out more I don't you can see the side marks right here where it was actually scratching on the ground you can see what it definitely was yeah Oh I thought all that was about to collapse holy how the job gets done but before we start to break down how you bid this job we've got to go back to the basics and the basics are right here and it's this important that I put it on my fingers so that every time you guys do a job you should stick your hand in front of your face and look at your fingers because every single construction project is broke down into these four pillars and this specific order pillar number one is labor you always have to calculate your labor pillar number two is your materials you account for your materials pillar number three is your overhead and you notice why pillar number three is right here there's a very specific reason why pillar number three is this finger because this is the point this is the pillar that always bites you in the butt at the end of the season this is the pillar that takes down more…
