Welcome to the forums.

Yes it is possible to use Kubla Cubed for your foundation trench excavation volumes. The 'construction phase' feature in Kubla Cubed is very well suited for this.

In Kubla Cubed 2019 I would recommend using platforms or feature surfaces to complete the trench work.  For instance using the feature surface you could use an extrapolate outline to define the perimeter of the trench and closed contours lines or break-lines to define the base of the trench.  However in Kubla Cubed 2021 (going to be released next month) there is a special 'trench element' that is especially for this task.  

One trick I would recommend for doing backfill is to use a platform that covers the area you want to backfill and set the mode to 'fill only' this way it will fill in all the cavities up to the level you set as the platforms 'elevation'.

See image below for a basic example.  If you want more details please let us know your requirements, but it should be no problem for the software.
