Choosing the right land clearing or excavation service can determine the success of your project. Doing a little homework can make all the difference. But finding the most cost effective, high quality work, and best customer service, isn’t always easy. 

Our goal at Swell Construction is to continue to build up relationships with our current customers and to reach out and form new relationships with potential clients. It is our responsibility to provide our customers with a quality-finished project. This is achieved by having highly skilled personnel in all positions within our company. We provide accurate estimates and perform our scope of work in an efficient, timely, and a cost effective manner.

Quality vs Price

The last thing you want to do is to fall prey to the lowest bid just because of the price. This bargain isn’t such a bargain when problems down the road start costing you. Instead quality work, by a company who takes pride in their work, has top notch customer service and communication, is definitely the way to go. 

Check the Company’s Testimonials and Reviews 

Customers who are satisfied and those who are unsatisfied, both tell others about the service they received. It is worth doing a little homework about a company. Look at their website and talk to someone from the company. Ask about their equipment, how many years they have been in business, look at previous projects, their specialties, and what your project will require. 

Equipment 

Having the right equipment matters! Without it you can’t get the job done. Not only is the right equipment necessary, they also need to be kept in good condition. The wrong equipment or one that breaks down, can lead to costly delays.

A solid foundation starts with a quality construction site development. In the past decade, there has been a dramatic call for eco-friendly construction practices here in Central Florida. At Swell Construction we believe that starts before construction begins. We are committed to reducing the negative impact site development has on the environment.

Sustainability 

Construction sites throughout the country are in the habit of producing a significant amount of waste. Sustainability should be a higher propriety, from recycling waste to focusing on decreasing energy costs.

Often times, everything is just tossed into a large trash bin and it ends up in the local landfill, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Green practices also include warm mix asphalt and stormwater management services.

Construction World talks about how to Implement Eco-Friendly Construction Strategies and  Improve Demolition Practices

“Rather than dumping more materials like concrete and structural steel into landfills, these can be recycled for other construction jobs. Industrial crushing facilities recycle these materials into dry aggregate for new construction. Additionally, even carpet, flooring and ceiling materials can be reused in a variety of ways. Any chance a contractor has to use recycled material, it often means a substantial savings opportunity. By using recycled and sustainable materials, construction companies will be able to avoid additional costs associated with the disposal of toxic materials from the site.”

Equipment Management

Efficient equipment, conserving energy, and taking proper conservation measures, adds up to a cost savings for everyone, reducing the carbon footprint of the project is very attractive to the new owners. 

Focus On Safety 

Implementing the highest safety procedures throughout the construction phase. Taking into account a small incident can set back the time frame and add to the final cost.”To avoid accidents, you need to make sure that all of your workers know about potentially hazardous areas, of these potential issues, and have the tools and training they need to stay safe while working on your job site – especially when operating heavy equipment”

Preparing the Land

When you choose Swell Construction you can be sure to get the highest quality, professionalism, and great customer service. 

Deadlines

Missing deadlines can have significant consequences and costs. While issues may arise, a company with good business practices is one with a reputation for delivering projects on the scheduled deadline and well within budget.

Safety

Safety should always be the highest priority. The last thing you want is a company who cuts corners, they tend to end up with problems down the road. Instead, tasks should be completed with efficiency and the highest safety standards. 

Licensing and Insurance 

Doing a little bit of research before hiring an excavation or earthwork service can save a lot of headaches down the road. Ensure the contractor you choose has the appropriate insurance and licensing. 

Equipment 

Moving large trees, plants, massive amounts of soil, grading, paving, drainage excavation, storm water and utility system installation, all require specific  heavy duty equipment if you want it done right. 

Communication 

Good communication is a must! The Project Manager is the pivotal point on a project and all crews take the initial direction from him. He ensures that the project is built to the client’s specifications and acts as the interface between the Owner, the office and the field.

Whether it is a commercial property, parking lot, subdivision, or single family home, in Central Florida, the first and most important step is a strong and stable foundation. Without it you can end up with some serious issues down the road. 

No matter what type of excavation or site development work you are having done, it is necessary to understand the importance of properly clearing the site, excavation, trenching, and digging for footings. 

A foundation is more than just a solid base for every building

The foundation keeps the structure from sinking into the ground, while keeping moisture out. Without a proper excavation for a solid foundation a building would absorb moisture, a few years down the road the foundation may become soft and crack, the walls could be filled with mold.

A good foundation protects the framework from all types of ground movement. It could be from our torrential downpours, disturbances in the ground from vehicles or road work, or any type of vibrations. 

Before a foundation can be poured the base of crushed stone must be properly compacted to that the foundation does not crack or shift. 

Why do foundations in Central Florida fail?

With proper site work and pouring of the foundation, it should last forever without any problems. But if the backfill used around the foundation has too much moisture, it can result in excessive pressure, cracks and leaks.

Equally important is to remove any and all tree roots, not just the stump. If not the roots will continue to grow and cause significant damage to the foundation. 

Excavation creates a large amount of dirt, which needs to stored and removed. Placed in the wrong place and it can result in displaces soil, landslide, collapsed wall, or trench.

Proper equipment and permits will be necessary for these types of site development.
