Every solid structure starts below grade. We dig accurately for foundations and footings, manage drainage, and backfill properly so what you build stays solid.
Call (437) 332-3023Get the work below grade wrong and everything above it suffers — settling, water, cracks. Jopie Construction Group handles excavation, grading and site preparation: digging to the right depth for foundations and footings, managing drainage, and backfilling and compacting properly. Serving Hamilton and the GTA.
Digging to the right depth and dimensions for the build.

Accurate digging to depth, with grading for drainage.
