The Importance of Construction Site Preparation

Construction site preparation is the first phase of construction that includes the clearing, testing, and leveling of the land. Skipping these steps could affect how your construction project turns out or cause unwanted obstacles during the building process. Here are the steps you should follow for construction site preparation: 

Site clearing - This is the first step of construction site preparation because you want to remove any potential obstacles from the land before you start building. Some common things that may need to be removed are trees, old buildings, and roots or rocks underground.

Surveying the land - Surveying the land is taking the time to mark out the exact dimensions of the structure you are planning to build. This is a way to avoid surprises and make sure you have enough space for everything you want to build.

Testing the soil - Soil testing is a very important part of the construction site preparation process. You must figure out how absorbent the soil is and figure out its ability to hold structures. 

Site Investigation - Site investigation should be done to figure out what needs to happen before the foundation of the structure can be put down. It’s important to figure out if there are several rocks or roots from nearby trees that could interfere with laying down the foundation for your building.
