The owner comes in person

Hannes Reslhuber advises, plans and works on site himself.

Complete package

Instead of hourly rates – reliability and keeping to schedule included.

Everything from one source

From topsoil stripping to the finished grounds: one contact, one point of coordination.

A handshake you can rely on

Fair prices, reliable dates, straightforward communication.

„Reslhauns der kauns!“

Complete earthworks for private home builders

Building a family home starts long before the first brick is laid – with professionally executed earthworks. With modern machinery, personal support and one central contact, we make sure your building project stands on solid ground from day one.

What does complete service mean?

We take care of all the earthworks. The turnkey construction of the house (shell, installations, interior) is not included – that is the job of your building contractor and the individual trades. We coordinate with them so that everything fits together seamlessly.

Your personal contact on site

“At Reslhauns you talk directly to the owner – from the first site visit to the work on site.”

Short decision paths, honest advice and reliable scheduling make sure that the earthworks can be coordinated perfectly with the other trades. As managing director, I work actively on site myself and keep track of every step of the work.

Hannes took on all the excavation work for the construction of my family home and I am super happy. He did a really great job and is also very reliable and likeable. Everything was totally straightforward. Value for money is perfect. I would hire him again straight away.

THANK YOU for everything.

With his work, Reslhauns played a major part in making many of our dreams come true in our garden – earthworks for everything from the pool and the trampoline to the garden shed and sauna. And he was not only great at his job, but also a real asset as a person.

He was always in a good mood, with a smile on his face, kept checking whether everything was all right and had the whole project in view at all times. What impressed us most was that he kept taking care of everything and thinking ahead even when his own work was practically finished.

A very special highlight for our digger-mad son: Reslhauns included him with so much patience, humour and warmth that our little ray of sunshine had a wonderful time every time he watched Hannes. In the end he always picked clothes to wear that matched the dark blue of Hannes’s outfit and most of his machines.

It is these little gestures that make a person and their work truly special.

Dear Hannes, we are incredibly grateful for your great work, your reliability and above all for the joy you brought to our garden project.

We would hire Reslhauns again at any time and can recommend him wholeheartedly!

Reslhauns dug out our driveway and all around the house. Everything was super straightforward and done quickly. He was really competent and worked fast while being clean and careful at the same time.

When we spontaneously had a few extra wishes, that was no problem – totally flexible! The price was fair too, and he left the site tidy.

We can only recommend him and will definitely call again when we need something!

FAQ

Any questions before we get started?

Answers to the questions home builders ask us most often.

Your question is not answered here?

Give us a call – the owner is happy to answer it directly on the phone.

Call us
What does an hour of excavator work with operator cost?

We don’t work with hourly rates but with complete packages. That way, reliability, keeping to schedule and the complete execution by me as your direct contact are already included.

What does a basement excavation cost?

That naturally depends on the size and the effort involved. As an example, for a 50 m² basement including disposal of the excavated material, you can expect a price of between €9,000 and €15,000.

What do the earthworks for a pool cost?

Depending on the size of the pool, the earthworks without disposal cost around €3,000 to €5,000. The costs depend on the size and the effort involved.

When do you come in when a house is being built?

At the beginning and at the end. At the beginning with topsoil stripping, excavation, the frost protection layer and the subgrade. After the house is built with the service lines, backfilling of the working space, ground shaping and topsoiling. We agree the dates with you and your building contractor.

Do you also build the house?

No. We take care of all the earthworks, not the turnkey construction of the house. The shell and interior work are done by your building contractor and the respective trades – we coordinate with them.
