Whether your Central Florida construction project involves an office building or home, it will probably need some type of site clearing, excavation, or land clearing. 

It is important to hire the right excavation service that can flawlessly handle all your building preparation needs. 

Project Scale 

The largest difference between residential and commercial excavation is the scale of the project. Typically, commercial sites are bigger than residential properties. 

This dictates important details about what is required and how the excavation service is carried out. 

When it comes to excavation work for residential projects, it usually involves digging out swimming pools and preparing smaller sites. While excavation for commercial projects usually involves preparing acres of land for construction involving larger structures and buildings. 

The basic tasks are similar but they are performed quite differently. Both are required to follow strict construction regulations and safety measures. 

Safe site preparation and clearing 

Most projects start with site preparation and grading. This includes locating any utilities before the process begins. Many sites also require cutting and filling to reshape the property to fit the plans. Installing drainage, removing tree stumps, large boulders and other earthwork tasks. 

Soil Preparations and Structure Weight

Depending on the weight, size, and scale of the structures being built, excavation can differ. Depending on the type of existing soil and the preparation is needed. 

Heavier structures, those made from concrete, steel, and glass will need more support. Which requires extensive excavation to ensure it can withstand the weight. 

Equipment and maneuverability 

The equipment used for the project is a big factor. Typically smaller equipment is needed for a residential lot, because it requires cautious maneuvering around a smaller property. 

An excavation company that has their own equipment, both large and small will be able to handle any size job.
