Site Preparation 101: What You Need to Know Before Building Your Home

Before the first brick is laid or the first module is installed, proper site preparation is crucial. At Branner Builders Inc., we understand the importance of laying a solid foundation—literally and figuratively. Here’s what you need to know about site preparation:

  1. Clearing the Land: The first step involves removing trees, rocks, and debris to create a level building surface. Proper clearing ensures stability and prevents potential issues down the line.
  2. Soil Testing and Grading: Understanding the soil’s composition is critical for foundation stability. Grading the site ensures proper drainage, reducing the risk of water damage to your home.
  3. Road and Driveway Installation: A well-designed driveway and access road are essential for construction equipment and, eventually, for you and your guests.
  4. Utility Setup: From connecting water and electricity to installing a well and septic system, site preparation includes ensuring all utilities are ready for your home.
  5. Permits and Regulations: Every site must meet local zoning laws and building codes. Our team handles the paperwork and inspections, ensuring compliance every step of the way.
