Clay conditions can affect excavation stability, formation moisture control and compaction outcomes. Good outcomes come from pricing spoil destinations and access constraints as part of the package, not as afterthoughts.
Getting scope and method aligned early usually protects programme certainty when conditions on site are variable.
