Site Preparation

Site Preparation That Gets Upper Peninsula Properties Ready for Construction

We prepare raw land and existing sites for construction across the Upper Peninsula, including Marquette, Gwinn, Negaunee, Ishpeming, and surrounding communities. From undeveloped parcels to active job sites, we handle grading, access, and ground conditions so builders and crews can start work without preventable delays.
Pre-Construction Land Clearing

  • Undeveloped land requiring clearing and initial grading
  • Trees, brush, and obstacles blocking construction access
  • Site clearing that prepares ground for foundation work
Grade & Elevation Problems
  • Land elevations not meeting construction specifications
  • Slopes and drainage requiring correction before building starts
  • Rough grading that establishes proper site elevations
Access & Staging Issues
  • Properties lacking construction access and equipment staging areas
  • Temporary roads needed for material delivery and crew access
  • Access preparation that supports project timelines and logistics

Site Preparation Built for Builder Schedules and Specifications

Site preparation delays cost time and money. Builders need sites ready when crews show up. Grade work has to meet specifications the first time. Access needs to support heavy equipment and material delivery. Our site prep work focuses on meeting requirements, staying on schedule, and creating conditions that let construction proceed.

  • Builder specifications met for foundation and grade requirements
  • Equipment access and staging areas prepared for construction crews
  • Timeline coordination that keeps projects moving without delays

Why Site Preparation Problems Delay Construction Projects

Site preparation issues stack up because every phase of construction depends on what happens first. When access, grade, or drainage aren’t right, the job slows down and corrections pile on once crews are already mobilized. Proper site preparation sets the conditions needed for construction to move forward without unnecessary stops.

  • Establishes correct elevations before foundation work begins
  • Provides stable access for equipment, materials, and crews
  • Addresses drainage before it interferes with construction
  • Prevents rework caused by incorrect grade or layout
