General Contract
Evaluate
Inspection and assessment of the land to determine suitability for a barndominium. Includes clearing trees, grading, soil testing, and preparing the foundation area.
Before we begin building your barndominium, one of the first and most important steps is evaluating and preparing your land. Our team starts with a thorough site inspection to assess the property’s suitability for construction. We look at factors like the slope of the land, drainage patterns, accessibility, and proximity to utilities. This helps us identify any challenges early on and plan accordingly, so we can ensure your barndominium is built on a solid, secure, and well-situated site.
Once we’ve completed the assessment, we move on to clearing the land. This involves removing trees, brush, and any debris that may interfere with construction. If needed, we’ll also handle the removal of existing structures. After clearing, we grade the land to ensure a level building surface and proper water drainage, which is essential to prevent future issues with flooding or erosion around your foundation.
We also conduct professional soil testing to determine how well the ground can support your new home. The soil’s composition and stability are critical to designing a foundation that will last for years to come. Based on the results, we may make recommendations or adjustments to ensure the site meets all requirements for safe, long-term construction.
Finally, we prepare the foundation area according to your barndominium’s specific design. Whether it’s a slab, pier and beam, or another type of foundation, we make sure the area is excavated and built to meet all structural and code requirements. By managing every step of site evaluation and preparation, we set your project up for success and ensure a strong, stable start to your new home.
