Common site preparation jobs
Every property is different, but these are some of the jobs that commonly fall under site preparation.
- Homesite preparation
- Cabin-site preparation
- Shop-site cleanup
- Access preparation
- Pre-construction clearing
What helps someone understand the job
The property location, rough size, access, photos, timing, and what you want the area to be used for afterward can make the first conversation much more useful. For driveway or drainage problems, photos during or just after rain can be especially helpful.
Questions property owners ask
Can site prep start before I have a final builder?
Yes. Explain the project stage and what needs to happen first. Some work may need to wait for plans, layout, permits, or builder requirements.
Can site prep include clearing and grading?
Yes. Those are common parts of early site work.
Should utilities be marked first?
Before excavation or digging begins, underground utilities should be located through the appropriate service and any private utilities should also be identified.
