For example, I contacted a firm in Manassas who does erosion and sediment controls for major developers in northern Virginia and obtained a price list to calculate what the cost would be for an average home construction project.

Let’s assume the home to be a modest 1,500 square feet, constructed 100 feet off a road in Rappahannock county. ^*The driveway is 100 feet long and 10 feet wide. The land has a slight slope from the road to the 1,500-squarefoot home site. This site requires a hole, 30 feet by 50 feet wide and six feet deep to be excavated for the basement.

The home site alone will have 9,000 cubic feet of dirt.
