What happens if the builders encounter rock while digging holes?
A. The builder will try to break through the rock and dig it out by hand to the best of their ability. It is up to the customer to provide equipment such as a jackhammer or Bobcat for the builder to use in helping to clear out rocks. Equipment charges such as a jackhammer,compressor, and Bobcat are deferred to the customer because there is no way of determining if rock will be encountered. The builder is entitled to charge $25 per hole for the additional labor that is required when a rock is encountered. While these charges are a nuisance, NAB wants you to be aware that the possibility may occur.
