Why it matters

The dig sets up everything built on top of it

Wrong depth or grade

A pad or base dug off-level causes problems for every trade that follows.

Water with nowhere to go

Poor drainage around a build leads to pooling, soft ground, and wet foundations.

A lot that isn't ready

Builders can't start until the site is dug, shaped, and graded.
