Why Wait When You Can Save? — Busting the “Longer We Take, More We Make” Myth in Excavation

  • August 26, 2025
  • Uncategorized
We’ve all heard the saying in Excavation: “The longer we take, the more we make.” While it sounds like a joke, it highlights a real problem, as excavation and foundation work are often the most expensive and time-consuming parts of building a house.
 
Excavation involves more than just digging; it requires careful planning, understanding site elevations, heavy machinery, and skilled operators. We encourage you to be involved in setting the correct elevations and to have clear conversations with your excavation contractor to ensure your expectations are met. It’s also important to be aware of soil export and import costs.
 
Historically, foundation contractors have often dictated schedules due to their high demand. However, with products like Mono Slab EZ Form, you can take charge of your schedule. Mono Slab EZ Form is simple to install, allowing you to get bids from various contractors, including flatwork or insulation contractors. This means you won’t be held up waiting for concrete contractors to move their heavy equipment and forms from job to job.
 
Delays in excavation and foundation work can quickly increase your budget due to accumulating costs from labor hours, equipment rental, and project overhead. That’s where Mono Slab® can help.
 
Here’s how Mono Slab® helps you save:

Choosing Mono Slab® means you no longer have to worry about the “longer we take, the more we make” mentality. Instead, you get speed, efficiency, and a smarter approach to building your home’s foundation.
 
Ultimately, your home’s foundation shouldn’t drain your budget before construction even begins. With Mono Slab®, you save time, labor, and money, building smarter from the ground up.
