Site Work

The reason the log work finishes on time.

Most log builders arrive after someone else has cut the road and poured the pad — and leave when the shell is up. We do the ground work ourselves, which removes the two places a project usually stalls.

Excavation

Clearing, cut and fill, foundation excavation, backfill and final grade.

Access

Driveways and access roads built to carry a crane and a loaded log truck, not just a pickup.

Pads and foundations

Building pads, footings and slabs, sized and sited for what is going on top of them.

Utilities and drainage

Water, septic, power trenching, and the drainage that decides whether a site stays usable in spring.

On the ground

Raw ground to a slab you can build on

Crew placing concrete from a mixer truck into formed slab edges on a gravel pad — Placing the slab — our forms, our gravel, our crew

An excavator working a cleared slope, stumps and turned earth around it — Clearing and grading

A dump truck placing crushed base while an excavator spreads it on a new drive — Road base going down

A mini excavator alongside an open utility trench with water line and conduit laid in — Utility trench and water line

A finished building pad with edge forms set and a rebar mat tied out, ready to pour — Pad built, forms set, steel tied

Framed walls standing on a finished gravel pad with a telehandler alongside — Pad in, walls going up

Same crew, same week — the ground goes in and the walls go up without a handover in between.
