Breaking Ground: What to Expect in the Early Stages of a Construction Project

Starting a construction project—whether it’s a custom home, a new commercial space, or a multi-unit development—can feel overwhelming if you don’t know what to expect. In this post, we walk clients through the first critical stages of construction: from initial site assessments and permits to excavation and foundation work. We explain how Northrock Building Co. handles pre-construction planning, coordinates with city officials, and ensures your project starts strong. For anyone stepping into their first build or looking to better understand the process, this guide offers clarity, confidence, and a look at how we build with intention from the ground up.
