Why I built this

Why I built this for excavations

I ran a painting company for years. I know exactly how the big lead machines treat excavations — shared leads, bidding wars, and a bill whether the job closes or not.

Who sends excavations work — and who you send work to

Every job touches more than one trade. Here's who already sends work to excavations, and who excavations send work to.

Who sends you leads
These trades run into your work constantly.
Foundation Contractors
Foundation work always starts with excavation—foundation contractors refer their preferred excavation crews constantly.
Ground-up construction requires site prep before any other trade can start—GCs need a reliable excavation sub.
Utility Contractors
Water, sewer, and gas line work requires precision trenching that utility companies often sub out.
Landscape Architects
Large landscaping projects (ponds, grading, terracing) require excavation equipment the landscaper doesn't own.
Pool Builders
Every pool installation starts with an excavation—pool contractors need a trusted excavation crew for every project.
Who you refer out to
Pass the work you don't do and earn a referral fee.
Foundation Contractors
After excavation, foundation work begins—refer your foundation partner and they'll refer you back on every future dig.
$150-500
Concrete Contractors
Site prep leads to concrete flatwork, footings, and pads—natural referral handoff.
$100-300
Drainage / Grading
Excavation often reveals or creates drainage needs—refer your drainage specialist.
$80-200
After grading and site prep, landscaping comes next—refer the landscaper and build a full site development referral loop.
$60-150
Septic / Sewer
Excavation for utilities often involves septic or sewer connections—refer a licensed contractor.
$100-300
The math

A worked example, not a customer story.

Here's how a season can compound for a excavation on LeadChuck. The numbers below are an example scenario, not a customer report.

Foundation contractors hire you to dig and refer you to every GC they work with. You refer foundation work back on every future project. Two trades, one perpetual referral relationship that compounds with every job.
Your net lead cost: $50 for $12000+ in revenue. Plus $150 earned in outbound referrals.

Straight answers

Questions, answered.

What size excavation projects are available on LeadChuck?

Everything from small utility trenches and landscaping digs to full site prep for commercial construction. Set your project minimums in your profile.

Do I need specific insurance to receive excavation leads?

Yes. Most contractors who refer excavation work require $1M+ general liability and equipment coverage. Make sure your profile clearly states your insurance limits.

What do excavation leads cost on LeadChuck?

Excavation lead fees range from $100–$500 depending on project scope. Full site prep for commercial construction can command higher fees given the contract value.

Can I receive emergency excavation leads (utility breaks, etc.)?

Yes. Contractors can flag urgency when sending referrals, and you can set your availability for emergency response work in your profile.
