Basement dig out lowering

I am looking for suggestions for an engineer and contractor for a basement dig out. Looking to bench the foundation (not underpin). In conjunction, new steel beam, new slab and new under floor drains. Expect to pick up about 8 inches. If someone would be willing to share experience and costs even offline that would be appreciated.

It was part of a larger contract but it was a change order so i was able to see what the bottom line cost for it was. Not really answering your question but I doubt that they would charge anywhere near that number if it was for a one off project and not part of a much larger contract.
