Your project in the canton of Uri
For work in Uri, give the municipality, postcode and delivery route to the property. Mention any current access restriction, vehicle size limit or section where materials must be carried by hand. For roof or façade work, describe the height, orientation, existing damage and any exposure already observed at the site. Provide photographs and available plans so the contractor can assess equipment and access. If the project changes the exterior or adds space, include the planning information you already have. Scheduling should reflect the proposed work, site conditions and current access.
- In Andermatt or at altitude, state the period during which outdoor work is realistic.
- For a roof exposed to the föhn, describe the type of roofing and its age.
- If your house is on a mountain road, describe access for a delivery lorry.
Earthworks in the canton of Uri
In the canton of Uri, the Reuss valley is narrow and hemmed in by mountains, which limits the space available for each project. In Altdorf and on the valley floor, excavations for houses and garages are carried out on alluvial fans where gravel alternates with large boulders. Towards Andermatt, rock, scree and deep frost call for robust machines and a short working season. Mountain streams and runoff from the slopes mean drainage and protection of excavations must be thought through. Old village houses often have damp cellars that can be dried out by exposing the walls. Before digging or reshaping a plot, ask your municipality about the procedure.
- In Andermatt or at altitude, schedule your earthworks once the snow has melted and before the first autumn frosts.
- If large boulders are visible on your plot, mention them, as removing them sometimes requires a heavier machine.

Frequently asked questions
Which details support an excavation request in Uri?
Describe the intended area, depth and purpose, with available site or utility plans. Explain machine access, ground slopes and nearby buildings. Ask who will confirm buried service locations and assess the ground before excavation; do not dig to locate cables or pipes yourself.
What needs checking before digging on a plot?
Known services, boundaries, ground conditions and nearby structures need assessment before excavation. Provide available utility and site plans and identify any previous surveys. Ask who confirms service locations and the necessary site protections; do not begin exploratory digging around suspected cables or pipes yourself.
What should I compare in excavation contractor quotes?
Compare excavation, ground support, soil handling and any drainage or backfilling. Distinguish removal from storage on site, and ask how unsuitable or unexpected material is assessed. Machinery access, protecting nearby structures and reinstating agreed areas should appear in the same scope.
How should I prepare for the excavation contractor visit or work?
Provide plans and photographs showing access, slopes and neighbouring buildings. Identify places that must remain usable and any restrictions on vehicle movement. Agree material storage or removal routes before machinery arrives, leaving assessment of buried services and ground stability to the responsible specialists.
