Rough-Grading Clause Samples
The Rough-Grading clause defines the responsibilities and standards for the initial grading phase of a construction project, where the land is shaped and prepared before final grading and construction begin. It typically outlines the scope of work, acceptable tolerances, and the criteria for completion of rough grading, such as soil compaction, drainage, and elevation requirements. By clearly specifying these requirements, the clause ensures that the site is properly prepared for subsequent construction activities, reducing the risk of delays or costly rework due to inadequate site preparation.
