Even prior to construction, large-scale projects require extensive work and preparation. Part of many construction projects involve commercial land clearing and, in some cases, excavation. Many people confuse commercial land clearing with excavation, but we want to clear up any misconceptions between these two different processes.
Commercial Land Clearing
Depending on the type of lot the construction project will take place on, commercial land clearing can involve a number of processes. For most projects, land clearing entails clearing out any unnecessary rubble and debris from the building site, including rocks, wild bushes, and trees. Once the land has been cleared out, it will need to be stabilized and leveled. Not all lots need clearing services prior to construction, but we can assess the site before any construction takes place to ensure this is the case.
Excavation
Once the commercial land clearing process has taken place, the excavation process can begin. Excavation involves removing any obstacles that may cause issues once construction starts. Excavation is also an important part of setting up a structure’s foundation and establishing a beneficial site for sound construction. And excavation involves much more than moving dirt around – it takes precise skill to remove just enough soil required to effectively establish a spot for the building’s foundation.
