excavation of foundations pits vs foundations laying Explanation: Одно время много переводил на строительную тематику, так вот устройство фундаментов (оно же "закладка фундаментов") практически всегда было foundations laying (единственное, что может спутать, так это то, что эта фраза уже давно используется не только в строительстве), что касается устройства котлованов, то в интернете есть достаточно подтверждений приведенного мной варианта. |

digging and pouring foundation (s) Explanation: This is a commonly heard phrasing among tradesmen in the U.S. and brings 507,000 Google hits. Now, if foundations aren't poured in Russia but made some other way, you will have to completely disregard! I guess you could use "digging and laying foundations." |
