What this estimate covers
The calculation: length × width × average depth ÷ 27 gives undisturbed cubic yards. Digging cost is volume × base rate × ground multiplier × access multiplier. Hauled volume adds your expansion percentage to the portion removed. The budget adds hauling, mobilization, and contingency.
Scope matters: this is a rectangular excavation allowance. It excludes demolition, clearing, imported fill, backfill and compaction, utility relocation, permits, engineering, shoring, dewatering, taxes, and specialized rock breaking. Slopes, working room, and irregular pool shapes can change the actual volume.
For a Mesa site estimate: have the dig dimensions, gate width, site photos, and soil disposal plan ready. Caliche, buried obstructions, and limited access need an on-site review to confirm equipment and pricing.
