Terms of Service

Last updated: August 2026  ·  Applies to: brservicesllc.online and services provided by BR Services LLC  ·  Governing law: State of California

These terms apply to your use of brservicesllc.online and describe the basis on which BR Services LLC, a California limited liability company, quotes and performs demolition, excavation, grading, hauling, container rental, and aggregate delivery. A signed proposal or contract for a specific project governs that project; where it conflicts with these terms, the signed document controls.

Estimates and proposals

• Estimates are provided after a site visit and are valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise.
• An estimate covers the scope written in it. Work outside that scope is a change, priced and approved before it is performed.
• Estimates rest on stated assumptions — access route, soil condition, slab thickness, haul distance, absence of buried obstructions. Where an assumption proves wrong, we document the condition with photographs and give you a price before continuing.
• Verbal figures given over the phone are ranges for orientation, not offers.

Site conditions and concealed conditions

Earthwork uncovers things nobody could see. Rock at unexpected depth, groundwater, undocumented fill, buried concrete or debris, abandoned utilities, and unmarked private lines are treated as concealed conditions. When one is encountered, we stop work in the affected area, document it, and present options with prices. We do not perform additional work and invoice for it afterwards.

Utility locating

We place a USA North 811 ticket before excavating and verify marks on site, including hand exposure within the tolerance zone. The 811 system locates member utility facilities only. Privately installed lines — irrigation, landscape lighting, low-voltage, septic, pool plumbing, propane, and services to detached structures — are not located by that system. You agree to disclose any private lines known to you or documented for the property. We are not responsible for damage to unmarked private lines whose existence was not disclosed and which could not reasonably have been anticipated.

Permits, inspections, and approvals

• Unless our proposal states otherwise, the property owner or general contractor obtains permits, since permits attach to the property.
• We identify the permits, utility disconnects, surveys, and inspections your scope requires, and we schedule around them.
• We do not begin permitted work before the permit is issued.
• Where an inspection covers our work and fails because of our workmanship, we correct it and arrange re-inspection at our cost.

Regulated materials

Asbestos, lead-based paint, contaminated soil, and other regulated materials are outside our scope. Where suspect material is encountered we stop work in that area, do not disturb it, and notify you. Testing and abatement are performed by appropriately certified contractors, and demolition resumes once clearance documentation exists. Structures built before approximately 1980 should be surveyed before demolition.

Property access and protection

• You confirm you own the property or are authorised to commission the work, and that boundaries are correctly identified. Where a boundary is uncertain, a survey should precede work.
• We identify and protect what stays — fences, trees, hardscape, and neighbouring structures — as described in the proposal.
• Heavy equipment and loaded trucks impose real loads. We assess driveways and travel routes and use protection, but pre-existing thin, cracked, or deteriorated surfaces may show damage despite reasonable care. We will raise that risk before work rather than after.
• Please clear vehicles and personal property from the work and access areas before the crew arrives.

Containers on your property

• Prohibited items must not be placed in a container: liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, oil, batteries, tires, pressurised tanks, appliances containing refrigerant, and any hazardous or asbestos-containing material.
• Material must stay below the fill line. An overfilled container cannot legally be hauled and will require levelling or a return trip.
• You are responsible for the container and its contents while it is on your property, including anything placed in it by others.
• Street placement may require an encroachment permit from your city. We will tell you when it does.

Free fill dirt

Fill dirt offered at no charge is unscreened subsoil from our excavations, supplied as available and on an as-is basis with no warranty of composition, classification, or suitability for any particular purpose. It is not engineered fill and is not a growing medium. Delivery timing depends on active projects and cannot be guaranteed. Placement and compaction are not included unless separately quoted.

Scheduling and weather

Dates are targets, not guarantees. Rain, saturated soil, permit and inspection timing, utility response times, and conditions discovered on site all move schedules. Saturated clay cannot be compacted to specification, and we will not place fill or finish grade in conditions that would require the work to be redone.

Payment

• Payment terms are stated in the proposal. A deposit may be required to schedule.
• Invoices are due on the terms shown. Overdue balances may accrue interest at the maximum rate permitted by California law.
• California mechanics lien law gives contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers lien rights on unpaid work. We reserve those rights and follow the statutory preliminary notice process where it applies.

Warranty and limitation of liability

We warrant that our work will be performed in a workmanlike manner consistent with accepted earthwork practice, and we will correct defects in our workmanship reported within the period stated in the proposal. We do not warrant materials supplied by others, work by other trades, pre-existing conditions, settlement of fill placed by others, or performance of drainage systems altered after we leave. To the extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability is limited to the contract price for the affected work, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages including lost profits or delay costs.

Website content

Content on this website, including text, illustrations, layout, and the BR Services LLC name and logo, is our property or is used with permission and may not be reproduced without written consent. Articles and guides are general information written from field experience. They are not legal, engineering, or geotechnical advice, requirements differ between jurisdictions and change over time, and you should confirm anything specific with your building department, your engineer, or your attorney.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Venue for any dispute is the county in which the project is located. Before filing an action, both parties agree to attempt resolution through direct discussion and then mediation. Nothing here limits any right you have under the California contractors licensing statutes or consumer protection law.
