Local knowledge

Site work for new construction in Windham & New London counties

Most Eastern CT builders run tight schedules — a new home build typically moves through site prep, foundation, framing, and finish trades on calendar weeks tied to contractor availability, not ours. We treat schedule reliability as non-negotiable. When a foundation crew is scheduled for Tuesday, we finish excavation and compaction by Monday afternoon so there's no downtime burning the builder's margin.

Foundation footings in CT need to bear on undisturbed soil below frost depth (42 inches) — which on sloped Eastern CT lots can mean stepping footings down a hillside or over-excavating and rebuilding with engineered fill. We work from the structural engineer's plan and verify every footing elevation with GPS-guided grading before the concrete contractor arrives.

Utility trenching on a residential build typically includes water service (5 feet deep, below frost), sewer or septic connection, electric service conduit, gas line (if available), and telecom. We coordinate the trench schedule with the utility companies' connection dates so the whole run opens and backfills in a single sequence — no 6-week exposed trenches, no repeated mobilizations, no extra charges on your budget.
