Ensuring your land clearing, site preparation, excavation, grading or paving project in  Central Florida stays on schedule is important. Meeting deadlines can be challenging, just a small delay and cause the timeline to be thrown off course. 

The timeline keeps the construction project on schedule, from planning, preparing the land, and design and building phase. It can also, affect the budget. 

How To Keep Your Construction Project On Track

Create a Timeline That is Realistic and Have a Contingency Plan 

Every detail of the construction process requires sufficient time, so that it can be completed successfully and safely. Allocating an extra day for problems such as unexpected poor weather and unavailable resources, which can easily hinder a schedule. These issues can be quickly resolved with a contingency plan.

Carefully Hire Experienced Professionals 

Finding the right team of professionals is crucial. This couldn’t be more accurate when it comes to site preparation. Land clearing, grading, excavation, stormwater and utility installation system, and paving, must be done efficiently and with great attention to detail, to ensure a successful project. Hiring a reputable company is vital. 

Clear Communication 

A good foundation for any construction project is clear communication. Miscommunication inevitably leads to unnecessary delays and costly mistakes. Clearly outlined roles and expectation will prevent derailment.

There are many steps when it comes to preparing a site for construction, depending on the location, size and scope of the project. This process involves clearing the land of vegetation and following any environmental regulations. Excavation of rocks and soil, to clear the site. Establishing a storm water channel and drainage system. Installing a utility system and paving.

Each of these steps requires specific equipment to ensure the job gets done right. Swell Construction Group is Central Florida’s leading ‘one stop shop’ for all your construction site prep work.

What land clearing, site preparation, excavation, and grading methods are best for your Central Florida construction project?

The details matter for a successful land clearing. What regulations and rules does it need to adhere to? How will you handle the storm water, water runoff, and collection? Are there any regulations concerning the nearby waterways?

Are there any abandoned structures, above or below ground, hazardous materials or existing underground utilities? What type of equipment will be needed? 

Before you can begin any construction project with raw land, it needs to be properly cleared. All the trees, rocks, and bushes, as well as any debris that has accumulated. It may seem simple enough, but it involves a strategic plan, heavy equipment, experience, permits, an understanding of the local regulations and laws. 

Land clearing techniques have come along way in the last decade. Modern methods allow for safer and environmentally alternatives. Not all properties are the same, the method best for your project depends on several aspects. To ensure a successful project, careful planning is always key. 

For example, some areas may require the foliage and trees to be pulverized, while others may allow burning. If you are having trees removed on a lot under an acre with an existing structure, many areas do not require a permit, but maintain at least 80 cumulative trees inches per acre. It all depends on local regulations. 

State of the art equipment is necessary for a cost effective land clearing project, it also ensures the job is done right. The last thing you want is problems down the road. 

With over 130 pieces of heavy equipment, Swell Construction Company ensures that no project or task is beyond our limit. Quality work for over 30 years, staying on schedule and under budget, has  earned us our outstanding reputation throughout Central Florida.

Whether it’s a large housing development or a commercial real estate project, every construction undertaking starts from the ground up. Central Florida is rapidly expanding, a solid foundation is essential for a successful project. 

While it may be invisible once the project is done, site preparation is vital.

If a site is not prepared properly before construction begins, the entire project can be compromised. Preparation includes land clearing, grading, proper compaction, soil stabilization, dewatering, excavation, paving, storm water and utility system installation. 

The first step is excavation and land clearing. Removing any unwanted trees and shrubs that are needed for the project.

This also includes any unwanted materials, rocks, stones, and garbage. Dirt may need to be excavated, depending on the soil and ground level, to ensure the highest quality, new dirt may need to be brought in and placed down. This creates a flat, secure surface for construction, which is vital for long term stability. 

The next step is land grading. This ensures the ground is reshaped to the planned grades. Proper drainage is imperative for any property in Florida, of which land grading plays an important role. It also helps control sedimentation, soil erosion, and surface runoff.  Improper grading can result in increase peak flows, high runoff, poor drainage, and flooding. If the ground is left at levels that are inappropriate, it disturbs the natural patterns of the storm water and can cause a huge, costly mess.
