Site Preparation: Clearing the Path to Your Vision

The Poole Paving site preparation team has what it takes to cut through the overwhelming tangle of engineering complexities, financial and time constraints, and governmental red tape that can stand in the way of your project objectives. Our in-depth experience, keen foresight, and sound professional judgment drive an integrated, proactive process that uncovers hidden stumbling blocks, safely navigates risks, and ensures every project phase is a step in the right direction:

• Meticulous site analysis – Identify potential challenges and opportunities, including grading ordinances, utility locations, soil and drainage conditions, legal boundaries, topographical features, and historic landmarks; define a secure storage area and a safe, efficient, non-intrusive route for accessing construction areas.
• End-to-end preconstruction planning – Partner with architect, developer, and site engineer to acquire proper permits; finalize design decisions; define and schedule project tasks; estimate resource requirements and establish budget; identify and plan for the effects of inclement weather conditions and other contingencies on cost and productivity goals.
• Hands-on project management – Oversee timely completion of a full range of site preparation activities from clearing and soil compaction to cutting and filling work and erosion and storm water control.  Ensure project deliverables meet client’s quality, timeline, cost, scope, and other requirements and foster harmonious, mutually rewarding relationships between all project stakeholders.
