Site prep for new builds
A Level, Compacted Site, Ready to Build On
Every commercial build starts with the ground. If the pad is soft, out of level or poorly drained, every trade after us pays for it. Terrace Excavation prepares commercial and industrial sites across Winnipeg so foundations, slabs and paving go down on a solid, properly graded base.
We work for developers, general contractors and property owners on new buildings, additions, yard expansions and parking areas. Send us your site plan or grading plan and we will price the work to it.
Who we work with
- General contractors and construction managers
- Developers and building owners
- Paving and concrete companies that need base prep
- Industrial, agricultural and commercial yards
Typical projects
Commercial Site Prep Projects
Building pads
Pads cut, filled and compacted to elevation for new buildings and additions.
Foundations
Excavation for footings, grade beams and basements, with backfill when you are ready.
Parking lot sub-grades
Sub-grade shaped and compacted so the asphalt or concrete above it lasts.
Yard expansions
Truck yards and equipment yards extended and regraded to drain.
Laneways & access roads
Gravel access built to carry trucks and equipment.
Site drainage
Swales, grading and culverts so water leaves the site, not the building.
