Site Stakeout & Preparation

Precision is crucial when preparing a construction site, and our team at Martin Construction has the expertise to get it right. We begin by precisely staking out the boundaries, elevations, and key reference points for your project. Using advanced surveying equipment and techniques, we create an detailed map of the site that serves as the foundation for all subsequent excavation and construction work. Our meticulous site preparation ensures that your foundation, utilities, and other critical elements are properly located and aligned from the very start. By taking the time to thoroughly stake out and prepare your site, we set the stage for a smoother, more efficient building process that stays true to your plans.

Laser Elevations

Accurate elevation data is essential for effective site grading, drainage, and structural placement. That's why Martin Construction relies on state-of-the-art laser technology to meticulously map the contours and elevations across your project site. Our specialized laser equipment can quickly and precisely measure most terrain, providing us with a highly detailed 3D model of the existing conditions. Armed with this valuable data, we can then develop an optimized grading plan that accounts for proper drainage, minimizes cut-and-fill requirements, and ensures your new structures are positioned at the ideal elevations. This laser-guided approach allows us to execute grading work with a level of accuracy that is simply unattainable through traditional surveying methods alone.

Land Clearing & Grading

Preparing a construction site often begins with clearing the land and grading the terrain to your specifications. At Martin Construction, we have the equipment, expertise, and experience to handle all your land clearing and site grading needs. Our skilled operators use heavy machinery like bulldozers, excavators, and graders to efficiently remove trees, brush, and other obstacles, leaving you with a clean, level canvas for your building project.

Whether you require expansive clearing for a new development or precision grading around an existing structure, our team has the capabilities to get the job done right.
