Orlando/Kissimmee Earthwork, Land Clearing & Paving

Proper excavation and site clearing is vital for a successful project here in Central Florida. The foundation is a vital part of any type of building, from a housing subdivision to a medical complex or even a parking lot. Considerable skill, training, and the right equipment is necessary for a foundation that will stand the test of time. 

It All Starts With A Stable Foundation

The foundation is responsible for supporting hundreds of thousands of pounds.  It also needs to stay dry, remain level, and resist changes in the weather, such as our intense heat and torrential downpours. Don’t forget the many tons the foundation itself weighs. Which means the ground must be carefully prepared and excavated to withstand the stress. 

Every Property Is Unique

The excavation process must be carefully planned and executed. Every property is different, they all have unique characteristics that must be examined and taken into consideration. Such as, moisture, water table, soil stability, and quality of the backfill. 

For those properties with a high water table, they may require protection at the base to safeguard the foundation from water damage.

Orlando/Kissimmee; Cost of Excavation & Site Development

Quality excavation and site clearing is vital to any construction project here in Central Florida. Without it, foundations can fail, causing cracks, shifts, and even sinking into the ground. Today’s homes and businesses a heavier than ever before, the foundation needs to be able to support the building, stone countertops, flooring, and everything it contains. 

The foundation should be sturdy and strong enough to last forever, this takes a quality excavation service. 

For instance, if the backfill bordering the foundation is too wet, the moisture will be absorbed by the concrete. Which will in turn cause a host of problems such as cracks and leaks. 

Rushing the process and not adhering to all the local building codes and restrictions can really set a project back. Both in time and financially. The professionals at Swell Construction take all the details into consideration, the distance between overhead power lines, fences, easement, and such. Small mistakes now turn into big repairs later. 

During the excavation and site clearing process it is vital that all the tree roots are removed where foundations will be poured. Removing just the stump just won’t do. In our tropical climate roots will continue to grow and damage the foundation. 

Complete site development takes proper heavy equipment. This should be done by an experienced team. Soil, rocks, and debris need to be properly removed. Displaced soil can cause landslides and collapsed walls. 

How much will it cost?

While there are many variables when it comes to cost, Swell Construction Group is proud to have the reputation of performing quality work, coming in under budget, and on schedule.

Site Development, Grading, Land Clearing, Excavation

Whether you are breaking ground on a new Orlando, Kissimmee, or Clermont subdivision, business, or single family home, quality land grading is more important than you think. 

There is water just about everywhere here in Central Florida. From the lakes and ponds, to the daily torrential downpours. All that rain water has to go somewhere and it should be away from your building. Water drainage probably isn’t something that comes to mind when you drive by an office complex or beautiful housing subdivision, but when the land isn’t graded properly, the water damage can be significant. 

When the land isn’t graded properly water can flow towards a building. When water pools around a foundation the pressure can result in cracks and structural damage. Threatening the structural integrity of the building. 

This standing water also encourages insect infestation and contributes to the breeding of mosquitoes. 

Grading ensures water is being diverted correctly, which prevents land erosion and proper drainage. Whether it is a system of pitch angles, piping or swales, it can prevent flooding and a lot of headaches. It also takes neighboring properties into consideration, protecting them from flooding. 

Grading sets the tone for the entire construction project 

Starting with a topographic survey, then initiate a plan. To prevent erosion of the soil, a ‘buffer zone’ should be established. 

A local professional grading service will know the current regulations that need to be followed. 

Back fill around the building’s foundation is also important. Too little and you can end up with an insect and termite problem and too much and you have serious issues with moisture. 

Proper grading also sets the foundation for beautiful landscaping. The aesthetics of the completed project will come together when grading is finished. 

It is important to hire a expert grading service
