Common Questions About Building Pads
How thick should a building pad be?
Pad depth depends on building size, soil conditions, and intended use. Most pads range from 4-8 inches of compacted base material. We recommend the right depth after assessing your property.
Do I need a building pad or a full foundation?
Building pads work for shops, barns, sheds, and storage buildings that don’t require basement or full foundation excavation. We can evaluate your project and recommend the right approach.
How long does building pad construction take?
Most building pads take 1-2 days depending on size, site conditions, and base preparation needed. We provide a timeline after site assessment.
Will my building pad settle over time?
Proper base preparation and compaction prevent most settling issues. We evaluate soil conditions and build pads that stay level and stable.
Can you build pads on sloped properties?
Yes. We grade sloped sites to create level building pads with proper drainage. Steeper slopes may require additional base work, which we’ll discuss during the estimate.
