Complete earthworks for your new family home

Reliable, personal and from one source – from topsoil stripping to the finished outdoor areas, in Linz and the surrounding area.

House excavation & earthworks

Earthworks from one source

Building a family home starts long before the first brick – with professionally executed earthworks. Reslhauns GmbH takes care of all the earthworks for private home builders in Linz and the surrounding area: from the first preparation of the plot to the design and completion of the outdoor areas.

Your advantage: one contact, one point of coordination and one complete package instead of many separate companies.

What we take care of

  • Building plot & pit – topsoil stripping, excavation, removal and disposal
  • Frost protection layer & subgrade – a load-bearing base for floor slab, driveway and terrace
  • Sewer, water & drainage – trenches, bedding, compaction, soakaways
  • Grounds & outdoor areas – backfilling, embankments, topsoiling

Not included: the turnkey construction of the house (shell, installations, interior) – that is the job of your building contractor and the trades. We coordinate with them.

How we work

How your earthworks project runs

Four clear steps – with the owner as your fixed contact.

01

Site visit & complete package

We look at your plot and building plans together. You receive a quote as a complete package instead of hourly rates.

02

Building plot & pit

Topsoil stripping, excavation for floor slab or basement, removal, frost protection layer and subgrade.

03

During and after construction

Sewer, water and service trenches, rainwater, drainage, soakaways and backfilling of the working space.

04

Grounds & outdoor areas

Ground shaping, embankments, preparing the driveway, terrace and paved areas, topsoiling.

Step 1

Preparing the plot & digging the building pit

A clean start saves time and money later. We strip the topsoil, prepare the building plot and dig the pit for the floor slab or basement to fit exactly. We organise the removal and disposal of the excavated material at the same time, so you don’t have to worry about skips or hauliers.

  • Topsoil stripping and preparation of the building plot
  • Building pit excavation for floor slab or basement
  • Removal and disposal of the excavated material
Step 2

Frost protection layer & subgrade – a base that lasts

What you will no longer see later decides how long everything lasts. We build the frost protection layer and subgrade properly and compact them, so that the floor slab, driveway, terrace and paved areas stay load-bearing for the long term.

  • Preparing driveways, terraces and paved areas

Step 3

Sewer, water, rainwater & drainage

We carry out all the earthworks for your service lines: proper trenches, bedding, compaction and reinstatement of surfaces. The actual connection to the public network is made by the respective utility provider (e.g. LINZ AG). We complete all the preparatory work on schedule and to standard, so that the connection goes smoothly.

  • Sewer, water and service trenches
  • Rainwater pipes, drainage and soakaways
  • Backfilling the working space once the house is built
Step 4

Finishing the grounds & outdoor areas

Once the house is built, your plot is usually still a building site. We shape the ground, create embankments and prepare the areas for the driveway, terrace and paving. Finally, we spread the topsoil so your garden can get started. If you like, we can also lay turf and do the landscaping – see Landscaping & pool excavation.

  • Preparing the driveway, terrace and paved areas
  • Topsoiling the outdoor areas

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.

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
Who connects water and sewer to the public network?

The actual connection is made by the respective utility provider (e.g. LINZ AG). We carry out all the earthworks and preparatory work so that the connection can go ahead smoothly.

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.

What is included in the complete earthworks service?

We take care of all the earthworks around your family home: topsoil stripping, building pit excavation, removal and disposal, frost protection layer and subgrade, sewer, water and drainage work, backfilling of the working space, ground shaping, embankments and topsoiling of the outdoor areas.

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.
