ROUGH GRADING

 

Rough grading is the process of shaping and contouring the land prior to the start of construction. It involves removing or adding soil to create a smooth and level surface for the construction of buildings, roads, parking lots, and other structures. Here are some reasons why grading is important:

  1. Site preparation: Rough grading is an important step in preparing a construction site for the start of construction. It helps to ensure that the site is properly leveled and prepared to support the structures that will be built on it.
  2. Drainage: Rough grading helps to ensure that proper drainage is achieved on the construction site. By creating the right slopes and contours, rough grading helps to direct water away from the structures and prevent water from pooling on the site.
  3. Stability: Rough grading also helps to ensure the stability of the construction site. By creating a level and stable surface, it helps to prevent the structures from shifting or settling, which can lead to damage and structural issues over time.
  4. Cost savings: Proper grading can help reduce the costs associated with construction. By creating a level surface, it helps to reduce the amount of soil that needs to be excavated or added, which can save time and money.

Overall, rough grading is an important step in preparing a construction site for the start of construction. It helps to ensure that the site is properly leveled and prepared to support the structures that will be built on it, as well as ensuring proper drainage, stability, and cost savings. If you are involved in a construction project, it is important to work with experienced professionals who can help you ensure that the grading is done properly and efficiently.
