Our Scope
Full Site Preparation

Ground Up, In Order

Six phases, one crew, start to finish — every stage handled by our team before framing ever began.
01 / Clearing

Site Clearing

Cleared vegetation and debris across the site to open a clean slate for grading.

02 / Prep

Site Preparation

Laid out and prepped the site to match engineered plans ahead of earthwork.

03 / Earthwork

Cut, Fill & Over-Excavation

Removed unsuitable soil and cut/filled the site to design grade for a stable foundation.

04 / Import

Dirt Import

Brought in and placed engineered fill to bring the site up to design elevation.

05 / Grading

Pad Grading

Fine-graded building pads for all 113 townhome units, ready for foundations.

06 / Paving

Paving

Stayed on through final paving of every roadway across the community.

Early Days

Moving Dirt, Setting the Grade

Before a single pad was ready, our crews spent weeks importing and grading dirt across the site. This quick look back captures that early stretch of the project, long before the roads and rooftops took shape.

From Dirt to Doorsteps

Two drone passes over the same site, months apart.

Early in the project, our team imports and moves dirt across the site to bring it up to design grade.

Near Completion — Drone

Near completion, the townhomes are nearly finished and the roadways are paved and ready for residents.

Mid-Construction

Clearing the Way for the Fire Department

Midway through construction, foundations are being poured ahead of framing. At this stage, our team cuts in the fire lanes that give the fire department clear access to navigate the site as construction continues to rise around it.
