I'm a retired electrical design/project manager that worked for a contractor. None of the projects I ever worked on had a site to final grade. It would be awesome to not be told what grade is, install conduits down 3-4' and have them dug up when it finally got to grade. You do very nice work that I am sure is very appreciated by the other trades. Respectfully, Kevin

Hey Chris just curious on why not use belly dumps on a job like this instead of end dumps? Bellys just dump faster and more uniform and much easier to spread with motorgrader or dozer. Just curious on your thoughts, never seen any in your videos but on most of your jobs I know they wouldn't work very good but this job looked like they would've worked great.

If it was going to be a high-rise then they'd dig a big hole for the footings. By the size of the car park, I am guessing it is some sort of shopping complex.

I totally laughed out loud seeing the dozer wizzing backwards and forwards. Very clever editing as well, underlining how busy you are going to be. And yes, I posted this before finishing the video. [EDIT] I loved the before and after stills at the end. Anyone seeing those pictures out of the blue would probably have no idea how much work went into transforming the site from one state to the other, and I dread to think how much the work so far would have cost the developer. I'm guessing well into six figures, and I wouldn't fall off my chair if I was told seven figures. It's exciting for us Letsdig18 followers to get to the end of a big project because we wait, with tenterhooks, to see where Chris will go next. I'm hoping for that big site with the sink holes and deep deep pipework blocked with subsidence, but I have a feeling that job will be tied up with County red tape for months if not years.
