Site Preparation

SITE PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Reasons for having a properly prepared site:

  • The delivery truck can get your building materials onsite
  • Insures the safety of the construction crew
  • Is a key element to the structural integrity of the building
  • Avoid building delays and additional charges

Site preparation guidelines:

  • The construction site should be level and well-drained with grading so water flows away from the building.
  • It is necessary to have at least 10’ of level building site around the entire perimeter of the building for the safety of the crew.
  • Allow enough room for the delivery truck to maneuver and for the crew to place trusses, steel, lumber, etc.
  • Discuss proper fill material with your salesperson and/or excavator
    • A standard pick-up truck should be able to maneuver on the prepared site without getting bogged down or stuck
  • All topsoil must be scraped off and piled out of the way to provide plenty of room for crews and material
  • Excavator should install the basecourse or other driveway material prior to building material being delivered. Basecourse should have jagged edges, not rounded, to prevent wash-outs in heavy rain.
  • Your site & any fill brought in must be free of buried objects or other obstructions such as rocks, peat, concrete, debris, utilities, excess moisture, high water table, etc. and have enough binder for holes to be dug and remain intact without cave-in.
