Or 15 minutes to move that dirt, and if its 1FP per min, that 15 FP. If this is right how is it not better then the hours or days to have it done with shoves?

and what would it be with a yard of stone or brick, do you know?
You could reasonably shape stone with Control. The fact that your pit has perfectly vertical walls may be a bonus.

15 FP is enough to send the average human to half HP. It is MUCH cheaper to pay a few people to dig a hole than it is to pay somebody to take the equivalent of a knife to the gut.
