HOUSE & BUILDING PADS

House & Building Pads

A SAFE BUILDING NEEDS A SOLID FOUNDATION

A strong and stable building pad is a constructed pad of firmly packed dirt that must be created before any concrete is poured. Unless the dirt pad is correctly installed by a qualified company that understands the process required, the finished structure will stand a greater risk of experiencing major structural issues. 

A building pad provides a strong surface on which a heavy structure can be built. Its purpose is to keep the foundation and structure balanced and stable without tilting or sinking into the ground. Our excavation and grading contractor will prepare the site in question using a precise and careful procedure that ensures stability in the finished home or building. 

The procedure to create a building pad entails the following steps: 
  • Soil Analyzation: Before any construction begins, we will analyze the soil at the site to understand what must be done to make sure it's properly packed and stabilized. 
  • Filling & Grading: Land filling and grading includes adding and leveling soil to make sure that it is adequately packed. We will pack the soil after every six inches or so of added material, making the site more structurally sound. 
  • Drainage: We will take steps to make sure that the surface drains water away from the structure without eroding.
The finished land clearing and building pad site will be strong, secure, and ready to support a building pad!
