General Contractors in Tyler, TX

General Contractors FAQ

Questions we get from general contractors

Q01Will the pad actually be ready on the date you commit to?

That's the point of hiring us. We schedule with weather contingency built in, communicate early if a wet window threatens the date, and don't stack jobs so tight that one slip cascades into yours. You get one phone number and a straight answer when you call it.

Q02Do you build to the engineer's spec and support testing?

Yes, elevation, compaction in lifts, moisture control on clay, and proof-rolls coordinated with your testing firm on the schedule the lab needs. If the drawings and the dirt disagree, you hear about it before it's buried, not in a failed density report.

Q03How do you handle change orders?

By walking the site before we bid so there's less to discover later. When the ground genuinely surprises, unmarked debris, buried slab, wet subgrade, you get the finding, the options, and the price before we proceed. No silent extras on the invoice.

Q04Which counties can you cover?

The East Texas spread your projects actually land in: Rockwall, Kaufman, Hunt, Smith, Henderson, and the counties between. One sub across the whole map instead of a new dirt contractor per county.

Q05Can you handle the full sequence, clear to framer-ready?

Yes: clear and strip, cut and fill to elevation, compact in lifts, proof, and hand off a pad the framer can load, with the construction entrance and drainage in place so the site works through the build. See site prep.

Q06Are you insured and set up for commercial GCs?

Licensed and insured, and we run the paperwork side like a sub who's done it before, COIs where your contract needs them, scope in writing, invoices that match the bid. The goal is being the sub you don't have to manage.

Q07What happens with utilities and 811 on my sites?

Every dig gets a locate, no exceptions, and we coordinate around marked lines and your wet utilities schedule. On sites with active trades we stage so trenching doesn't strand another sub's access.

Q08How do I get a bid from you?

Send the drawings or call, then we walk the site, real conditions beat title blocks, and you get a firm number with the scope written the way your contract needs it. Repeat GCs mostly text us the address and the plan set.

Q09Can other trades send customers to you?

Yes. Builders, metal-building crews, septic installers and surveyors often find the dirt work that has to happen before theirs: a house pad, a driveway culvert, clearing for a slab. Call or text (903) 603-0528 with the address and what the customer needs, or have the customer use the form on this page and choose 'A builder or contractor' under how they heard about us, so we know who sent them. See driveway culvert permits for the county rules that come up most on new drives.
