    Questions people ask

    How do I find grading & earthwork jobs before they go to bid?

    Commercial projects leave a public trail months before anyone prices them: a rezoning or site plan on a city agenda, a design review, then permits. The staff reports and plans attached to those agendas show the scope, and for grading & earthwork the signs are grading plans, retention basins, at-risk grading permits, phasing. Reading them every week is how you hear about a job before the bid list is set. Groundwork does that reading and writes down who to call.
