Question

How much does it cost to excavate 100 m³ of soil?

Accepted Answer

The cost depends on the machine’s output and the type of ground; rentals are charged per day, not per cubic metre.

Indicative daily output

Machine	Indicative output / day	Cost per day, with operator
5.1 t mini excavator	40–70 m³	RON 800
19 t wheeled excavator	100–150 m³	RON 1,200
24 t excavator	150–250 m³	RON 2,200

Factors affecting the cost

Type of ground — hard clay or compacted gravel reduce output by 30–50% compared with topsoil.
Soil removal — if the soil does not stay on site, a dump truck is also required.
Access — a confined site requires a smaller machine and therefore more working days.

Prices exclude VAT and do not include transport of the machine to the job site. The minimum rental period is 10 days.

💡 A 24 t excavator digs approximately 150–250 m³ of ordinary soil in one working day, so 100 m³ usually takes less than a day. The rate is RON 2,200/day with operator, excluding VAT; the minimum rental period is 10 days, plus transport.
