I'm looking to pull the trigger on a metal building. (Prairieville)
I've looked through past posts and have a feel for the brands I am leaning towards for the building manufacturer.

Does anyone on here have recommendations for site prep crews? I'm going to need to move a fair amount of dirt, and install a pretty long gravel driveway to access the location. I'd like to get a handle on the scope of this work, and don't have any relationships with affordable / knowledgeable dirt guys. The last one I hired was not a good experience...
Thanks TD!

Paul Bullion has done the last 3-4 projects for me. From full site prep for my metal building, completely regrading my drainage at my home and recently installed 220' of culvert and regraded the entire property. Good guy and does it right! 225-715-7746. He's in Ascension.

My local guy does my site prep.

For a 50x70 pad 26in deep, 4500 or so. That's packed to 12 inches and then packed again.

For 250ft of driveway 16ft wide, dirt and then flex base on top, a 40x50 parking area with flex base, 6k.

All in, I bought in something like 600 loads of dirt for the housepad, driveway,and yard.

He's awesome, and did plenty work for me over the years. If it's not commercial/industrial it may be hard to get him out there. Barry is who actually gave me Paul's name because he really didn't want the residential stuff.
