Our Process
Every division follows a defined sequence from contract to close-out. No surprises — you know exactly what happens next, who's responsible, and what gets delivered at each stage.
From permit review to certificate of occupancy — here's how every civil project moves.
Pre-Construction & Permit Review
1–2 weeksWe review the full civil drawing set, confirm permit status with the county and water management district, and initiate Sunshine 811 utility locates. Constructability issues flagged before mobilization — not on-site.
Mobilization & Site Setup
2–3 daysEquipment and crew arrive. Erosion and sediment controls (silt fence, construction entrances, inlet protection) are installed first — required by permit before any ground disturbance. Site trailer, temporary power, and laydown areas established.
Clearing & Demolition
Project-dependentExisting vegetation, structures, and pavement removed per the demolition plan. Topsoil stripped and stockpiled if specified. Cleared material is ground, hauled, or disposed per local ordinance.
Mass Earthwork & Rough Grade
Project-dependentCut and fill operations executed per the grading plan. GPS machine control on dozers and motor graders guides operators to design elevations without constant manual staking. Imported fill placed in specified lifts.
Underground Utilities
Concurrent or sequentialStorm drainage, underground detention, sanitary sewer, water main, and other utilities installed per the utility plan. Each system inspected and tested before backfill — storm structures vacuum tested, water lines pressure tested.
Sub-Base Preparation
Follows earthworkBuilding pad, parking field, and roadway sub-base graded to design elevation and compacted to specification. Third-party geotechnical testing verifies compaction at required intervals.
Fine Grading & Stormwater Structures
1–3 weeksFinal grades established across all earthwork areas. Stormwater ponds, swales, and outfall structures brought to finished elevations. Littoral planting installed if specified. Erosion control maintained throughout.
Site Restoration & Erosion Control Removal
After stabilizationOnce permanent stabilization covers disturbed areas per permit thresholds, temporary erosion controls are removed. Site is cleaned up, haul roads restored, and temporary construction entrances removed.
Substantial Completion & Close-Out
1–2 weeksWalk the site with the GC or owner, compile punch list, complete outstanding work. As-built surveys submitted. Warranty documents, O&M manuals, and final lien waivers delivered at close-out.
