Leveling building sites is one of our specialties, ensuring that your next construction project, whether it involves a commercial building, pole barn, or your dream shop house, kicks off on the right foot with a properly prepared building pad. At Reiss Earthworks, our dedicated team employs advanced laser grading technology and skilled heavy machinery operators to meet your specific requirements for a solid building pad. Our use of modern laser grading technology ensures an accurate and level surface and building pad, preventing any costly crests and depressions that could affect your construction project.
While laser grading might seem exclusive to large-scale projects like highway construction, athletic fields, large site developments, and massive warehouses, our investment in this technology enables us to deliver laser-perfected site leveling for building pads of all sizes. We have the expertise and equipment for your project.
Our Process
The site leveling process for a building pad initiates with a comprehensive onsite consultation with our clients. During this session, we evaluate your project, discuss your desired outcomes, plans, and needs for the building pad and any related site work such as parking. Elevation shots are taken to determine leveling specifics in relation to the target elevation of the building structure and the building pad. This information allows us to propose a plan based on cut-and-fill material needs for the building pad construction.
After this, our heavy equipment constructs a building pad with layers of aggregate, LVC material, or clay material strategically leveled and compacted, lifting your site to the target elevation for the building pad and transforming it into a flat surface. Our planning accommodates options for overbuilding to facilitate the construction process and access to the building pad, gravel parking pad, or any specific requirement. Once we complete the leveling process and constructing slopes, we finalize the grading of the disturbed area around the building pad.
Our comprehensive services encompass various site work, ensuring a thorough approach tailored to meet your needs for the building pad. Activities often performed in conjunction with building pads include installing or constructing driveways, parking pads, swales, culverts, grading, brush, and tree clearing, utility installations for the building pad, retaining walls, erosion control, and seeding.
If you require precise site leveling for building pads in your upcoming construction project, contact Reiss Earthworks for a complimentary consultation for your building pad! It’s important to note that specific steps and material choices can vary based on factors such as climate, soil conditions, construction modalities, and intended use. Consulting with professional services such as civil or geotechnical engineering, or hydrologists is always a good idea to tailor the installation process to the unique circumstances of your project.
