To reply to Oxbeast. You can have outreach on commercial excavations but if its true outreach and community involvement it needs to be built in from the start and it will not be a load of volunteers pushing barrows. Hence true outreach costs on top of the commercial excavation. This is my measure of true community involvement in commercial projects, it costs as you need extra paid site staff to supervise and manage it. Surprisingly some developers are happy with the extra charge as it is good publicity and ticks all sorts of boxes.
if it don't cost more than a straight commercial excavation then it ain't community outreach
