I've got to agree with bigbob loam is to expensive to waste, if we're not going to screen
it on site to use then it's back hauled to the pit screened there and sold.
As far as basements go our offsets are 5 or 6 feet, room enough for the concrete crew but not so far that they cant reach the forms with a Crete truck. Most foundations now have ether a walkout or garage door, so you need a frost wall.
As soon as the walls are stripped and water poured we're back to install footing drains and radon piping. Once it's inspected we'll backfill, usually 3 to 4 days after it was poured, builders hate to wait.
We have one builder who would move us in at 7 o'clock and tell the cement crew to be there at 12 . Footings poured by 4 o'clock and walls done the next day, lumber and carpenters in 2 days.
