Sitework Estimating for California Contractors

California's SWPPP requirements, Bay Area and LA Basin air quality rules limiting grading days, and high groundwater in coastal and delta areas make sitework estimates here substantially more complex than in most states. California requires a C-12 Earthwork and Paving Contractor license. SWPPP must be prepared by a QSD for projects over 1 acre.
