Site Work & Grading
Commercial mass grading, fine grading, drainage correction, soil stabilization, and pad prep. The work below grade that makes the work above grade hold up.
Site Work We Handle
Commercial site work is the job before the job. Mass grading moves the dirt. Fine grading sets the elevations. Drainage routes water where the civil engineer wants it. Soil stabilization gets the pad ready for foundation forming. Skip any of these and the building above pays for it.
008 Concrete handles full commercial site prep for Greater Atlanta GCs and developers. Mass grading, fine grading, drainage, erosion control, undercut and replacement, soil stabilization, and final pad prep before concrete forming starts.

The Work Below Grade Matters
80% of concrete failures trace back to bad site work. The foundation cracks because the pad moved. The slab heaves because the subbase wasn't compacted. The retaining wall tilts because drainage was an afterthought. Get the site work right and the rest of the project gets easier.
Jake and Chuck run grading the way they run concrete — with the laser level out, compaction tested, and the civil drawings on the dashboard. The result: pads that hold, drainage that works, and a site that's ready for the next trade.
Mass grading to civil drawings — cut/fill balance optimized
Fine grading with laser level — elevations verified before pour
Drainage installed per civil plan — pipe, basins, sheet flow
Erosion control coordinated with NPDES permit requirements
Compaction tested — not eyeballed

Site Work Pricing
Commercial site work cost depends on lot size, cut/fill volume, drainage scope, soil conditions, and erosion control requirements. Every project gets a written, line-item estimate after a site walk.
Small Commercial Site
$15,000 — $75,000
Tenant build-out lots, small commercial pads, basic drainage
Development / Large Commercial
$75,000 — $500,000+
Multi-tenant developments, multi-family pads, complex drainage and erosion control
Every project gets a written, line-item estimate. The number we quote is the number you pay.
Site Work & Grading FAQ
Site work includes mass grading (rough earthmoving), fine grading (final elevation work), undercut and replacement (removing unsuitable soil), compaction, drainage installation, erosion control, and pad prep for the foundation. We handle all of it as one scope.
Any site disturbing more than 1 acre in Georgia needs an NPDES permit and erosion control plan. We work to the plan — silt fence, construction entrance, sediment basins, and BMPs per the approved drawings. The permit itself is typically pulled by the GC or civil engineer.
Yes. Most commercial drainage problems show up after the building is in — water ponds in the parking lot, slopes drain toward the building, or a downspout dumps into the wrong spot. We re-grade, install new drainage pipe and inlets, and fix slope-to-drain. Site by site — written estimate after a walk.
A typical 1-2 acre commercial lot runs 3-6 weeks from clearing through ready-for-foundation. Multi-acre developments and multi-tenant pads run 2-4 months. Weather, permit windows, and soil conditions affect schedule — we commit to a number in writing before mobilization.
