Site Preparation 101: What Every Project Owner Should Know
1:19
Before you pour a foundation or frame a wall, your site needs to be ready. Proper site preparation is the key to a smooth, successful construction project—especially in the Bay Area, where soil conditions and regulations can be tricky.
What Is Site Preparation?
Site preparation includes all the steps needed to get your land ready for building:
- Clearing trees, brush, and debris
- Grading and leveling the site
- Excavating for foundations, utilities, and drainage
- Compacting soil for stability
Steps Involved
- Site Clearing: Remove vegetation and obstacles.
- Grading: Shape the land for drainage and structure.
- Excavation: Dig for foundations, footings, and utilities.
- Soil Compaction: Prevent settling and ensure stability.
