A direct note for every GC and developer with summer vertical work.
Every July or August steel package has a pad date behind it. Every pad date has a grading window behind that. The projects that are going to hit those windows on time are the ones that have a confirmed grading crew sitting on the schedule right now.
The ones still shopping for a partner in late June are the ones that quietly push into Q4.
If your summer pad is not yet committed to a grading slot, this is the week. The conversation does not need permits, final design, or even a notice to proceed. It needs a scope, a date target, and a crew calendar to align.
Send the plans. We will tell you what is realistic.
