Frank Benaderet founded GreenQuest Builders in 2001, a construction firm based in Palo Alto, California that performs both residential and commercial construction work throughout the San Francisco Bay area. Before beginning construction of a home, a site must be prepared - this may involve removing rocks and trees, leveling uneven ground, and using equipment like bulldozers and backhoes. Once site preparation is complete, the next step is building the home's foundation, whether it be a full basement, crawl space, or slab, which must strongly support the home's structure.

3. Site Preparation for Home Building
 There is a lot involved in building a home from scratch. Before beginning to
build, a construction team will prepare the site. Depending on the location,
a crew might need to remove rocks and trees from the site. If the ground at
the site is uneven, the crew will typically level it before proceeding with the
next stages of construction. During the site preparation process, the
construction crew will often utilize various pieces of industrial equipment,
such as bulldozers and backhoes.

 After these preparation activities have been completed, the next step of
building the home’s foundation can take place. Some homes are designed
to have a full basement. Others might be built upon a crawl space or a
slab. Whatever type of foundation is built, it needs to be strong and able to
fully support the structure of the home.
