How does invoicing/payment work for most Excavation Contractor projects in Palo Alto?
Every project differs, but you should ask any excavation contractor for an estimate, before they do any work. In fact, ask for their general payment terms before any excavation services work is done.
If the job is large and going to take longer than a day, it's common practice for excavation contractors to request a down payment. Usually, this will be around 25% so they can commence work on your excavation contractor project.
