What happens here
Begin by preparing the construction site. This involves clearing and grading the land to create a level and stable base for the pavilion. Once the site is prepared, excavate the necessary areas for the concrete foundations and piers that will support the timber frame structure. Pour concrete into these excavations to form sturdy footings and piers.
Goal: Prepare the site and lay the concrete foundations for the pavilion
