4 Factors That Impact Land Clearing Costs For A Construction Site

4 factors that impact land clearing costs for a construction site

In order to have success with site grading, other services are often required. Professional land clearing is an example of one of the significant services that are crucial for preparing a construction site to move forward into building and development. Before a slab foundation can be set or other details put into place, the land has to be cleared to prepare it for everything. Of course, every step of the process impacts your budget, so it's important to know a bit about factors that can affect the overall cost of land cleaning for your site grading and preparation project.

Determining The Cost Of Land Clearing For Your Site

Before even getting started with the clearing process, there are some steps to be taken and costs associated with this phase of the job, such as soil testing. However, some of the more significant cost fluctuations come from details like:

  • Permits - Every construction phase requires permits, even getting the land ready for use. It's vital to get the cost of the paperwork factored into your budget and the licenses are taken care of before starting your project.
  • Surveying - Before clearing a parcel of land, it's important to define where that starts and ends. You'll need a clear plan for the full scale of the territory you have that is yours to clear.
  • Equipment & Labor - One of the main reasons a contractor can't do clearing work without hiring someone is the amount and type of equipment involved. Plus, it's a labor-intensive job.
  • Removal - Many organizations forget that there's an expense associated with hauling away the debris remaining from land clearing. You can't have a clear site with the fallen brush, etc. still in place.
