Before construction can begin on any commercial development project, a considerable amount of effort goes into preparing the site itself. A site work contractor specializes in ensuring the land upon which the new facility is to be built is ready for excavation and that all required utilities are available. In some cases, a site work contractor is also responsible for final landscaping after the physical structure is completed.

What Is a Site Work Contractor?

Preparing for Excavation

Site work contractors are responsible for clearing the property and grading the land for construction. In addition to rough grading, a skilled site work contractor will begin digging the foundations, as well as any trenches required for drainage or utility access. Because minor errors during this phase of the project can cause serious delays and cost overruns, it’s crucial to hire an experienced contractor.

Installing Infrastructure

Before the building is completed, site work contractors will also install any sidewalks, driveways, and other features included in the designs. Install septic systems, sewer lines, and drilling water wells before the building is completed is also much easier and cost-effective than waiting until the project is nearing completion.

Cleaning Up the Site

A site work contractor’s work continues until the building is nearly finished. After clearing away the construction debris, their team will take charge of the final grading, lay down sod, and finalize the landscaping.
