WHAT FALCON CAN HELP WITH
LOCAL GROUND CONDITIONS
Bring the builder’s requirements into the conversation before the dirt work is quoted. A level-looking surface does not establish foundation suitability or compaction results. Falcon’s scope is the agreed excavation and pad preparation; any required design, testing or certification needs to be identified separately.
QUOTE FACTORS
Good dirt work depends on the ground in front of you. Access, water, slope, materials, and timing can change how the job should be handled.
List the pad footprint, supplied elevations and builder requirements in the scope. Ask who will provide fill, handle excess soil and arrange any specified testing. Keep the foundation or slab work and any separate design or inspection services clearly identified when comparing estimates.
