Orlando Construction Site Development, Excavation & Land Clearing

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.

As a preferred site development contractor, we strictly follow safety regulation and guidelines.

This allows construction to begin. Swell Construction has the experience to understand the needs of different projects. To ensure the foundations of homes in a  development won’t be affected by all of our storm water, extensive grading will be needed to properly direct the water.  While the land for a shopping center will need to be emptied out to make room for the foundation, utilities, and structure to be built.
