Despite the fact that there is a significant distinction between commercial site work and site preparation, excavation contractors frequently refer to both as the same thing.

​

Commercial site work generally refers to duties that must be carried out to make a piece of property ready for building, like clearing the land, excavating foundations, and installing utilities.

​

On the other hand, site preparation typically refers to the process of preparing the land for a particular form of development, such as preparing a site for a new office building or a new subdivision. Therefore, larger goals than site preparation are typically involved in business site work.

​

As a consequence, it needs a unique set of abilities and tools. Heavy equipment operators who are taught to operate bulldozers, excavators, and other sizable machines are frequently employed by excavation contractors who specialize in commercial site work.
