: Buildings are not excavated, they are erected. Excavation is not performed to expose foundations, it is to make space to pour the foundation shoes, slabs etc. i.e. to contain them.

"Layout and leveling for the erection of buildings"
Desplante es la acciòn de crecer una obra desde sus cimientos. "Erection" es erigir, sinónimo de desplantar. Excavar es en direccion contraria, es decir hacia abajo para despues colar la cimentación. In this case the Robb is not very accurate.

I've worked for Fluor Daniel construction company in Aliso Viejo, CA. I´m sure of this. There are many instances of strutural members for erection of the construction, and in spanish is desplante or construcción.
