Do you have enough room to lift the house and then move it off the foundation location? Forward or back?

Lift the house and move it off the existing foundation. This way you can get a basement guy to dig and construct you a new basement. Or do it yourself.

By doing it this way you don't have the problem of your house falling into the hole as it's being dug. Happens much more than you would think. It's very hard for a legit contractor to get insurance for this type job. Also working under a house that's up on stilts can be much more expensive than doing a open hole construction.
