Professional assessment

Proper preparation of a work site is the first step to guaranteeing that your project runs smoothly, regardless of whether it is residential or commercial. By understanding and properly preparing the land that your building will sit on, you’ll be able to better prepare the foundation and structural supports of the building. This, in turn, will ensure the building is structurally sound and can properly support the weight of the structure.


At DaCosta Construction we specialize in planning construction projects. Our preparation service guarantee will leave you confident that you’re in the right hands and your project is off to the right start.


We also believe in providing the best service at a reasonable cost. By using all our own equipment, there’s no worry of rental fees and if we are involved from the beginning, we can recycle things like any soil dug up during excavation and repurpose that for the graduated downward slope away from the building, or for any landscaping on the property.


Our professionals are ready to help you get your project started and see you through until the end.


Our site preparation tasks include:


Elevation Determination – we’ll determine the best elevation for your site

Money Saving Techniques – By using material borrowed from the build site for the base we can decrease costs (especially true for large rural sites where you might have a hill in a field to borrow from)

Material Salvaging – Strip and save topsoil

Footing Excavation – we excavate footing trenches

Material Supply & Delivery –provide gravel to bring your site up to grade

Concrete Sub-Grade Preparation – Our team can place and effectively compact gravel for concrete preparation
