Site Preparation Work Process
- The site prep job involves a number of steps and a survey is done before anything else.
- In this the topographical features such as rocky outcroppings, streams, relative elevations, open areas and trees etc. will be accurately marked; and this becomes the basis for everything else that follows.
- The property lines have to be located accurately to confirm any setbacks in compliance with the existing local codes.
- The sidewalks, streets and sidewalks are flagged and mapped.
- The surveyors will then stake out the location of the different underground utility conduits that run through the neighborhood and to every house.
- In a single house construction project, all existing utility services in that neighborhood have to be pinpointed and these connections to the proposed house will have to be carefully plotted.
- A soil test will be done to help determine the design and type of the foundation construction.
Site Preparation Approvals
- Most of this information has to be approved by the local building authority. The copies of the tests and surveys (generally signed & stamped by a licensed professional engineer), have to be attached to all the proposed construction drawings & submitted for approvals/permits from that authority.
- Once the approvals come in, the location of the foundation of the structure is staked; these become the guide for excavation.
- The batter boards and stakes are connected using nylon strings as an outline for the exact perimeter of the foundation that is to be built.
- The excavators and backhoes get to work, digging the ditches to extend the existing/new utility installations for natural gas, plumbing, electricity etc.
- The foundations will then be excavated using the different staked-out lines as guides. The plans also call for footings and dependent on the individual designs a full basement, crawl space, concrete slab, perimeter foundation walls as the base to support the main floor.
Every new construction project needs these site prep stages, and it’s crucial for the property owners to understand what is involved in this task. This job also needs to be done precisely, methodically and in a timely manner so the site is ready for the next stage of construction.
