You are basically constructing a house foundation. Just without the basement or crawl space.

Start with Ambrose Bros. in Meredith to get an estimate.

Then ask for the names of earth works companies. Excavators, dump trucks and such. Then compare prices.

Unless someone on this board is an earth works person or retired from such - no one can give you any kind of estimate without looking at job site.

As you did not mention access - no one knows how easy or difficult getting machinery on job site. Nearby wells, leach fields, etc. Then of course there is ledge.
