Grading Division in West Palm Beach, FL
Structural Site Prep Experts in Southeast Florida
At LTI Construction, we believe that every structurally sound building starts with a strong and stable foundation — and that begins with proper grading. As a contractor that exclusively handles the structural portion of the build for other licensed professionals, our grading division plays a key role in setting the stage for successful construction. Whether we’re working on a commercial development or a high-end custom residence, our site grading and preparation services are designed to get the project out of the ground — safely, accurately, and efficiently.
Our Grading Division focus is solely on the initial construction phase, ensuring the site is properly graded, compacted, and structurally ready for the next steps. With more than 33 years of experience working across Southeast Florida, we’ve built a reputation for precision, consistency, and working in sync with general contractors and developers who rely on our structural expertise.
Built for Structure, Designed for Progress
As a shell construction specialist, our team works exclusively within the structural framework of residential and commercial projects. That includes everything from site grading and excavation to slab forming and foundation preparation. Every grading project we take on is approached with the same commitment to quality and attention to detail that defines our company.
Florida’s landscape presents some unique challenges — especially when it comes to drainage, soil composition, and flood zones. Our local expertise allows us to deliver grading solutions that meet design specifications and building codes, while also accounting for long-term site stability and structural success.
Local Experience That Delivers Results
Our team has decades of experience working in South Florida, which means we know how to handle everything from coastal sand to heavy rainfall conditions. Whether your project is located in Indian River County to Broward County, we bring the equipment, knowledge, and local insight needed to get the structural phase of your build off to a strong start.
We also understand the importance of working within Florida’s regulatory framework. Our team is familiar with local permitting processes and maintains strong relationships with area municipalities, helping streamline inspections and minimize delays.
What Our Grading Division Provides
Our grading services are tailored to meet the demands of structural construction. We understand that before any blocks are laid or tie beams installed, the site must be properly shaped, leveled, and prepared. Here’s what we offer:
Site Clearing and Preparation
We remove all debris, vegetation, and surface obstacles to ensure a clean, workable space for grading and foundation work. It’s the first step toward a properly prepared build site.
Mass Grading
Our team performs large-scale grading work for commercial buildings and custom residential lots. This includes cutting, filling, and leveling to meet structural design plans and drainage regulations.
Fine Grading
Once mass grading is complete, we fine-tune the surface to create the precise elevation needed for concrete pours, slab forming, and structural alignment.
Excavation and Soil Compaction
Proper excavation and compaction are essential for avoiding structural issues down the road. We follow engineered compaction requirements to create a dependable, load-bearing base.
