Building the House Pad 4K

What happens here

Begin by assessing the current state of the land. For the driveway, identify any 'weird peaks' or uneven terrain that could pose a hazard. Observe the existing shaping and note areas requiring significant contouring for safety and smooth vehicle movement. For the building pad, determine its current level and identify if additional elevation is needed for proper drainage or foundation requirements. Also, take stock of any remaining trees or large debris from previous clearing, particularly 'dead, dying, or widow maker' trees, and plan for their removal.

Goal: Understand the scope of work and identify areas requiring grading and clearing.
