Tell us about the site and the project, and we’ll follow up.
Every commercial project starts in the ground. Site work covers everything that happens before the foundation goes in: clearing the land, excavating, grading, and setting up drainage and access. When it is done right, the rest of the project goes smoother. When it is rushed, problems show up later in the slab, the parking lot and the building itself.
Central Maine Construction handles commercial site work for owners, developers and businesses across central Maine and beyond, including Augusta, Waterville and Skowhegan. Because we also build new commercial buildings, the site and the building can be planned and scheduled together.
Site work we handle includes:
Commercial excavation for foundations, utilities and site development.
Clearing trees, brush and stumps to get a lot ready for construction.
Grading, compaction and drainage so the building and lot shed water the way they should.
Most site work follows the same order.
01
We walk the site, review the plans and survey, and send a bid that covers scope, schedule and cost.
02
The lot is cleared, then excavated and graded for the foundation, utilities and drainage.
03
The site is prepped and handed off to the build, or straight to our own crew if we are building the project too.
It usually includes land clearing, excavation, grading, drainage and getting the site ready for the foundation and utilities. The exact scope depends on the site and the plans.
Yes. We handle site work on its own or as part of a commercial construction project, so one team manages the schedule.
Most site work happens from spring through fall, when the ground is not frozen. We plan the schedule around frost and mud season so the project stays on track.
Tell us about the site, the project and your timeline. We will review it and follow up to talk through next steps.
