Do not clear blindly before the layout is understood
It is easy to remove too much before a house, shop, driveway, septic area, utilities, and drainage plan are coordinated. The best early work keeps options open instead of forcing later corrections.
If plans are still changing, consider starting with access and selective clearing rather than stripping the whole site.
Reliable access comes early
Builders, utility crews, concrete trucks, material deliveries, and equipment all need a way in. Driveway location, culvert needs, slope, soft ground, and turning room can become major schedule issues if they are ignored.
Document the entrance and the proposed route from the public road to the future work area.
Drainage should be planned before finish work
Temporary construction access and final drainage are not always the same thing, but early grading should avoid creating obvious water traps or sending runoff toward future structures.
Final site design may require the builder, surveyor, engineer, septic professional, or local authority depending on the project.
