Building Pad Construction in Sewanee, TN

Stable Foundations for Your Mountain and Plateau Properties

In Sewanee, TN, properties often include wooded areas, steep slopes, and uneven terrain. Preparing a building pad is essential to create a stable, level foundation for homes, cabins, garages, or other structures. Bobo Construction Management provides professional building pad construction throughout Sewanee and surrounding areas, ensuring your project begins on safe, reliable ground. 


We combine expertise, specialized equipment, and local knowledge to tackle even challenging or rugged properties.

A building pad is a carefully prepared area designed to support a structure and protect it from soil movement, settling, and drainage issues. Proper construction includes:


● Site evaluation to determine slope, soil type, and drainage needs

● Clearing and excavation to remove trees, rocks, and debris

● Cut-and-fill grading to level uneven areas

● Compaction and soil stabilization for durability

● Drainage planning to prevent water accumulation


Without a professionally built pad, foundations are more susceptible to cracking, shifting, and moisture damage over time.
