Excavation

Group of construction workers and professionals standing on a freshly poured concrete foundation at a construction site.

Self-Performed.
GPS-Guided.
Built for Momentum.

FCC Construction self-performs excavation and site work with its own crews and GPS-guided equipment across West Michigan. Because the same team handles everything from mass grading to fine grading, project schedules start moving on day one instead of waiting on a subcontractor's availability.

FCC's excavation crews handle mass grading and site balancing to bring a site to the elevations a project needs. Self-performed equipment and crews mean grading starts as soon as a site is ready, without waiting on a subcontractor's schedule.
FCC's excavation equipment runs on GPS-guided grading systems, so cut and fill elevations match the plans to the inch. That precision carries through to fine grading ahead of foundations and paving, where tolerances matter most.
FCC self-performs utility trenching and backfill for site utilities, coordinating directly with the same crews handling grading and foundation excavation. One team means fewer conflicts between utility work and the rest of the site schedule.
FCC's crews handle foundation excavation and fine grading, plus tight-access interior excavation for equipment installs where standard equipment does not fit. That range lets FCC take on ground-up sitework and interior renovation excavation with the same in-house team.
FCC self-performs parking lot prep and site improvements, along with excavation for industrial press pits and machine bases. The same excavation team that opens a site can also dig the foundation for the equipment going into it.

Why FCC Self-Performs Excavation

FCC self-performs excavation for the same reason it self-performs general trades and structural steel: schedule control starts on day one.

On a design-build or negotiated project, FCC's excavation crews mobilize as soon as the site is ready, not after a subcontractor bid process. That keeps the critical path in FCC's control instead of someone else's.

Frequently Asked Questions

FCC self-performs excavation with its own crews and equipment. Mass grading, utility trenching, foundation excavation, and fine grading are all done in-house, not subcontracted out.
GPS-guided grading uses satellite positioning built into excavation equipment to cut and fill a site to exact plan elevations in real time. FCC's excavation crews use GPS-guided equipment for both mass grading and fine grading.
Yes. FCC's excavation crews handle tight-access interior excavation for equipment installs, including press pits and machine bases, in spaces where standard excavation equipment cannot work.
Because FCC's excavation crews are in-house, they can mobilize as soon as a site is ready instead of waiting on a subcontractor bid and schedule. That keeps the critical path in FCC's control from the first day of site work.
FCC Construction is based in Caledonia, Michigan, and self-performs excavation across West Michigan, including Grand Rapids, Holland, Muskegon, and Kalamazoo.
