Excavation & site preparation
Before the build,
know the ground.
Site preparation starts with the project, the existing conditions and the information needed to assess the work. Bring the scope into focus before the first move.

Planning
Before the
proposal.
A project request becomes more useful when the practical questions are clear. Explore the details to confirm before a site visit or proposal.
PlanningThe idea
Good preparation starts on paper.
The ground is one part of a wider project. Access, drawings, drainage intent, utilities and the next construction stage all shape the conversation. Grade is a site preparation concept that begins with those questions.
The idea behind Grade- 01
Describe the project.
Start with the type of work, general location and the timing you have in mind. A few useful details are enough for the first conversation.
- 02
Confirm the scope.
Discuss access, existing conditions and any drawings or permissions needed. The contractor can explain what must be assessed on site.
- 03
Review the proposal.
Understand the included work, exclusions, sequence and payment terms before agreeing to proceed. A website enquiry is not a contract.
Before you begin
Useful questions.
Does an enquiry book the work?
No. An enquiry starts a conversation. Scope, site conditions, availability and a written agreement need to be confirmed separately.
What should I include in a first request?
Share the project type, general location, approximate size and the timing you have in mind. The contractor can explain what else is needed for an assessment.
Can I send plans or site photographs here?
This form takes a short message only. Ask the contractor how to share drawings, photographs and other project documents through an appropriate channel.
When can I get an estimate?
The contractor needs to confirm the scope and any site information before explaining the estimate process. This concept does not represent actual pricing or availability.
