What are site prep costs, and what is a builder ready lot?
Let’s start at the start with the basics. You’ve found the perfect piece of land, and now it’s time to get ready to build. But wait – there’s a lot more that goes into preparing that land than just laying down a foundation. Here’s where we come in! Our site preparation package includes crossovers, earthworks, retaining walls (if required) all designed to make your construction process as easy as pie (and save you a ton of cash, too).
What's involved in site preparation?
Now, let’s talk about site preparation. This is where the magic happens! We make sure your land is ready to build on, with all the groundwork taken care of. It’s all about getting the best possible start for your dream home, so you can hit the ground running. Here’s how it works:
Earthworks – the heavy lifting
Before you can start building, your block of land needs to be levelled. That means moving dirt, rocks, and anything else that might get in the way of site preparation. We handle all the earthworks, ensuring that the house, yard, and landscaping within your designated footprint are ready to work with.
Retaining walls – the secret to future-proof landscaping
If your site has excessive slope or uneven terrain, we’ll install retaining walls. These nifty structures will help manage the land’s natural slope, prevent erosion, and even define your boundaries – making your future landscaping easier and way more cost-effective. Bonus: They also save you money on future landscaping because they give you a defined space to work within. And don’t worry – our concrete sleeper retaining walls are super sturdy, designed and built to last. No need for any major earthworks after the build is done!
Crossover – what exactly is a crossover?
You might be wondering – what on earth is a crossover? Well, in the world of construction, a crossover is the driveway (or access point) that connects your property to the street. It’s the spot where your car rolls from the public road right onto your land. And here’s the kicker – building a crossover can be costly and time-consuming. In Aberdeen, we’re doing it for you, so you won’t have to worry about those additional costs! That’s one more thing to tick off your list.
