FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) lumber at the ready.
The very same beast that destroyed the house, now functions to ready the ground for the new one. First the hole in the ground; next the levelling.

The guy with the stick has a gadget attached that communicates with the excavator, (aka The Beast) which triangulates with up to 5 satellites and let's the operator know, within centimeters, where the ground is level. The Beast operator then scrapes (or adds) sand to make the whole area of the future basement level.
