Excavation Labour Rates Rates below are expressed as labour constants, for excavation per lineal metre. Multiply your lineal meterage by the labour constant for the appropriate trench width and depth to arrive at your labour estimate for trench excavation per lineal metre. Remember to adjust the labour constants set out below where excavation is likely to be either more or less difficult than standard excavation. Standard Excavation is defined as flat site, easy access, and less than 10 metres distance to stockpile, load or dispose of spoil.
