Tiger Hills Construction
Start with
a clear scope.
The more clearly the installation and restoration are defined, the better the work can be planned.
Build a useful project brief
Six things
to have ready.
- Location and access
Work locations, access restrictions, road allowances, landowner requirements and any sensitive landscaping.
- Drawings and quantities
Current construction details, enclosure sizes, expected counts and the sections ready for installation.
- Materials and responsibilities
Who supplies structures, conduit, fittings, bedding and backfill, and where materials will be staged.
- Ground and backfill requirements
Known soil conditions, spoil handling, drainage, compaction specifications and any testing requirements.
- The finished landscape
Required grades, topsoil, seed or sod, cleanup limits and how the completed restoration will be accepted.
- Sequence and schedule
Readiness of plowing and drilling, crew coordination, traffic arrangements, milestones and site constraints.
Before the work begins
Make the expectations clear.
Is restoration included with every installation?
The restoration scope should be stated explicitly. Topsoil, surface treatment, imported material and specialist repairs may need separate pricing. Agree on the finished condition before work starts.
Can you work with a prime contractor’s supplied materials?
That is part of the intended subcontracting approach. Material supply, unloading, staging, handling and installation responsibilities should all be included in the agreed scope.
Do you take on work outside Manitoba?
Out-of-province opportunities will be assessed individually, including the schedule, mobilization requirements and applicable project requirements. A location mentioned in a project brief does not confirm availability.
Can sensitive landscape work be discussed separately?
Yes. Careful excavation and restoration are important parts of the service direction. The work area, existing landscape and required finish help determine whether a proposed scope is a good fit.
