For custom and tract builders
Home building pads.
Single lots or a whole section. We have built pads for Houston-area homebuilders for decades, and most of them keep calling because the schedule holds.
Lot clearing
Pad to plot plan
Driveway base
Lot drainage
Section work
Clean handover
Builders do not need a partner. They need the pad on Thursday.
Most of our residential work comes from builders who have used us for years, and it is repeat work for an unglamorous reason: the pad is ready when we said it would be, at the elevation on the plot plan, and the lot is left clean enough for the next trade to get to work.
We can run a single custom lot or roll through a section on a schedule. Either way there is one crew, one number, and no subcontractor chain to chase when your framing date moves.
Included in the scope
Lot clearing
Trees, brush and stumps off the building envelope, with the rest of the lot left as you want it.
Pad to plot plan
Built to the elevation and setback on the plot plan, shaped to shed water.
Driveway base
Culvert and driveway base cut in at the same time, so access is there for the trades.
Lot drainage
Graded so water leaves the lot and does not end up against the slab or in a neighbour's yard.
Section work
Multiple lots run on a schedule for tract builders, in whatever order the build plan needs.
Clean handover
Debris off, ruts knocked down, the lot ready for forms.
Questions
What people ask before they call.
Do you work on more than one lot at a time?
Yes. Running a section is normal work for us and it is generally cheaper per lot than mobilising for each one separately.
Can you set the driveway culvert while you are there?
Yes, and it is worth doing on the same mobilisation. Access matters from the first delivery onward.

Two ways in, depending on how far along you are. Either one reaches the office in Crosby, not a call centre.
