What to send for a sitework estimate

Project location, intended finished use and approximate dimensions or quantities.

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.

Published work example and business contact

First Phase’s public homepage identifies a pond/basin excavation example on wet ground, with spoil handled on site. Ask the business for a comparable example and references relevant to your planned work.

Review the First Phase project gallery and request recent examples relevant to the scope. A drainage repair, pool removal and building-pad project involve different work; compare examples that match the intended result.
