Excavation Services – South Shore, Cape Cod & Beyond
Not all excavation contractors are the same. At Amex Construction, we don’t just DIG, we don’t just Manage, We do it All. Our team will provide safe, professional excavation services that go beyond simply “digging a hole.” From residential foundation digs to large-scale commercial site work, we deliver excavation that’s compliant, efficient, and built to last.
