What to send for a sitework estimate
- Project location, intended finished use and approximate dimensions or quantities.
- Photos of the work area and the equipment access route.
- Available survey, drainage, construction or excavation plans.
- Known utilities, septic features, retained trees, fences and standing water.
- Target timing and the work that must be ready for the next trade.
Questions for the written scope
For clearing and grading, confirm what vegetation remains, where material goes, the finished elevations and any fill or testing requirements. Mulching alone can leave roots and organic material in place, so it is a different scope from preparing a structural footprint.
For demolition or pool removal, confirm permit and utility responsibilities, the removal method, disposal, backfill, compaction, final grading and restoration. Ask which items are included, excluded or priced as allowances. The proposal should identify access protection, drainage outlets and handoff requirements.
