A method and apparatus for controlling lateral drilling for accurate placement of laterally running conduit for electrical, fluid or gas piping. The disclosure provides a stable platform which is adjustable and may be quickly assembled in a basement or subterranean building area to allow accurate placement of lateral deep drilling to provide connection between a below grade space, through a foundation wall and through soil to place the termination point of the desired hole very close to a target location. The apparatus can be driven with an internal drill or a hand drill to drive a screw-like mechanism forward once the geometry of the intended conduit drilling is set up.
