Site Preparation

Before construction can begin, you’ve got to prepare your site. That includes breaking up the land, grading, leveling, demolition, and more. If you follow the proper site preparation methods, you can ensure that the construction project goes smoother, which is why this is such an important phase.

What Is Site Preparation?

Site preparation refers to the multistep construction process of all the prep work you do prior to construction on a site. It can involve site surveying, grading, leveling, clearing land, drainage, earthmoving, and demolition. Site preparation is critical to ensuring that a construction project is successful.

The Site Preparation Process

There are multiple steps in the site preparation process. Keep in mind that the steps you need to take will vary depending on your situation and what the status of the site is. For example, you may not need to do any demolition if the area is already clear of structures, or you may have additional zoning hurdles if you’re performing building construction on the project site.
