Excavation & site prep
Clearing, grading and excavation that gets a site ready for homes, cabins and outbuildings.
Land — to — Legacy
Building on solid ground at ten thousand feet.
Elevation 10 Thousand is an excavation, site-work and construction company based in Fairplay, Colorado. We turn raw mountain land into sites, driveways and buildings that last.
What we do
High-altitude ground is rocky, steep and short on building season. We plan for that from the first walk-through.
Driveways & access roads
Driveways and access roads built for mountain grades, snow and spring runoff.
Drainage, culverts & ponds
Moving water where it should go: drainage, culverts and ponds.
Construction & remodeling
Cabin construction and remodeling, coordinated with trusted local trades.
Land development
Preparing raw land for building, from the first site visit to a finished, buildable site.
Utility & septic trenching
Trenching and excavation for utilities and septic systems, working alongside the licensed professionals each project requires.
How we work
Straight answers, a clear plan and a crew that shows up.
Walk the site
We look at the ground, access, water and your goals before anyone talks price.
Plan & bid
A clear scope and price, so you know what you're getting.
Build it right
Experienced operators, well-maintained equipment and careful work in tough conditions.
Keep you posted
Organized job records, so questions about schedule, hours and costs have quick answers.
Organized behind the scenes
We run the business on our own internal software, so jobs, crews and equipment stay on track:
- Business hub: jobs, tasks, costs and customer records in one place, built on Google Workspace.
- Crew app: time, tasks, site walkthroughs and equipment logs from the field.
- Sam Wells, our AI assistant: keeps records current, summarizes business email and sends reminders to the owners.
About Sam, our AI business assistant
Sam is software, not a person. It works only for our company, using a company-owned Google account and acting on the owners' instructions. We publish what Google data Sam can access, why, and how it's protected.
