Before you can pour a foundation, install utility lines, or reshape your yard for a pool, you need an excavation partner that understands Dallas soil, local permitting, and tight residential job-site access. CountBricks provides a turnkey excavation service Dallas residents count on for fast, clean, and code-compliant earthwork backed by AI-powered estimating.
Safety – Proper shoring and slope calculations prevent collapses and protect crews and adjacent structures.
Precision – Laser-guided grading ensures your slab or pier-and-beam foundation meets tolerance, reducing costly rework.
Drainage – Correct cut-and-fill balances control North Texas flash flooding and foundation upheaval.
Compliance – Municipal inspectors look for erosion controls, haul-off manifests, and compaction tests. CountBricks manages every line item.
• Expansive clay soils that swell and shrink with rainfall
• Tight urban lots where heavy equipment must maneuver in alleyways
• Stringent municipal stormwater regulations
• Hot summers that dry soils to rock-hard consistency and winter rains that turn them to muck
1. Voice-enabled site walk-through – Our superintendent captures dimensions, elevations, and obstructions in real time using the CountBricks mobile app.
2. AI estimate generation – Within minutes, CountBricks.com/services produces a line-item earthwork estimate using live material rates, haul-off fees, and equipment availability.
3. Digital blueprint takeoff – Upload your residential plans and the platform auto-calculates cut/fill volumes, trench lengths, and pad elevations.
4. Permit package – CountBricks compiles erosion control drawings, SWPPP forms, and utility locates for city submittal.
5. Mobilization – Low-impact tracked excavators arrive with certified operators and OSHA trench shields.
6. Real-time progress tracking – Voice notes sync to the cloud so homeowners and builders see daily production and any change orders instantly.
7. Final verification – Drone scans confirm grade elevations before we pour select fill or crushed stone for the foundation crew.
• Soil composition – Clay removal takes longer and may need lime stabilization.
• Access limitations – Narrow gates or overhead power lines require compact equipment and hand labor.
• Haul-off distance – Landfill tipping fees and mileage rise sharply outside I-635.
• Weather delays – Rain events can require dewatering pumps and schedule shifts.
• Utility conflicts – Unknown gas or fiber lines mean vacuum excavation and locator services.
Traditional bids pad contingencies to absorb unknowns. CountBricks predictive costing compares thousands of past Dallas projects, current diesel prices, and crew productivity, resulting in estimates with a ±3 % accuracy range. Homeowners see every assumption itemized, and builders can lock in pricing early.
• Schedule earthwork in late fall when precipitation is low and crews are readily available
• Combine pool and foundation digs into one mobilization to save equipment hours
• Opt for onsite cut-to-fill balancing to reduce haul-off costs and import materials
• Install sub-surface drainage during excavation to avoid re-digging later
• Use CountBricks.com/consultation to review soil reports before finalizing engineering
A 30-foot lot in Bishop Arts District required a basement garage and three-story townhome foundation. CountBricks used mini-excavators, conveyor belt spoils removal, and after-hours hauling to minimize street impact. AI estimates predicted 580 cu yd of export; final quantity was 567 cu yd, a 2.2 % variance.
Once the dirt is moved, CountBricks remains your single source for concrete, framing, and finish trades. Our integrated platform keeps every phase on the same data set, eliminating double-entry errors and communication gaps.

Most overruns in residential construction start below grade. CountBricks uses technology and process discipline to remove surprises before the first bucket of soil is lifted.
• Our platform cross-checks Dallas weather patterns with crew availability, reserving the exact excavator class needed—no paying for idle 30-ton machines when a 15-ton unit will do.
• Dynamic rescheduling means rainouts trigger automatic notifications and re-sequenced tasks, preventing downstream delays for concrete and framing teams.
• Handheld sensors measure moisture content in real time, allowing operators to adjust cut slopes and compaction targets on the fly.
• Data syncs to CountBricks.com/portfolio so engineers can verify compliance without extra site visits.
1. AI maps the closest approved disposal facilities and secures slots before mobilization.
2. Return trips bring back select fill, turning deadhead miles into cost-effective import hauls.
3. The result: fewer trucks on residential streets and savings passed directly to the homeowner.
• Daily voice memos, photos, and drone snapshots let you inspect trench depths and pad levels from any device.
• Change orders are priced instantly, eliminating end-of-project sticker shock.
In the last 12 months, CountBricks completed 217 residential digs across the Metroplex with an average schedule variance of just 1.6 days and zero recorded safety incidents. Homeowners reported a 23 % reduction in total site-prep costs compared to traditional bidding methods.
