grading process.
Land Grading is the process of leveling and compacting the soil, so the ground inclines properly. In addition to keeping your home flat on the ground, this step will help ensure your home has proper drainage and driveways are safely pitched for future access. To ensure that you have sufficient space for panel delivery and layout, instruct your site prep contractor to allow enough flat perimeter around the slab for this step (at least the height of your panels plus 3 ft).
Add fill and compact to meet specifications.
To start your home with the best foundation possible, hire professionals for the concrete foundation work. To conform to your plan, they will add the Simpson hold-downs as necessary.
