Step 1:
Project Planning & Value Engineering
We begin every partnership by thoroughly reviewing your project plans, geotechnical reports, and civil drawings. Our team of estimators and project managers applies decades of local experience to identify potential efficiencies, solve foreseeable problems, and provide value engineering insights. This isn’t an add-on service; it’s our standard practice to find solutions that can save you time and money.
Step 2:
Pre-Construction & Site Mobilization
Once the plan is finalized, our in-house team seamlessly coordinates all pre-construction activities. This includes managing our trucking and dispatch to schedule equipment mobilization, conducting utility locates, and performing initial site staking. This phase is meticulously managed by our experienced superintendents to ensure a safe and efficient start.
Step 3:
Expert Excavation & Grading
With the site prepared, our skilled operators execute the sitework with exacting precision. Guided by our dedicated project managers and superintendents, we utilize our modern fleet to perform land clearing, demolition, mass excavation, and fine grading exactly to project specifications. We pride ourselves on working efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Step 4:
Continuous Communication & Management
We believe that over-communication is the key to a successful project. Your dedicated Project Manager will provide regular progress updates, attend site meetings, and maintain open lines of communication with your entire team. This approach keeps everyone aligned and informed, allowing us to collaboratively address and resolve issues before they can impact the schedule or budget.
Step 5:
Site Finalization & Hand-Off
As our scope of work concludes, we ensure the site is perfectly prepared for the next phase of construction. All grades are verified, utility connections are marked, and the site is left clean, organized, and safe. Our team demobilizes efficiently, leaving you with a flawless foundation for your build and a positive experience to carry forward.
