Construction Staking.
Plans live on paper; buildings live on dirt. Construction staking is the translation between the two: we set stakes and marks that tell the crew exactly where the building corners, curbs, utilities and grades belong, with cut sheets that document every point.
Who typically needs this
- General contractors mobilizing on residential and commercial jobs
- Grading and paving contractors working to design surfaces
- Utility contractors laying pipe to line and grade
- Owners and builders on custom home projects
Common situations
- Rough grade needs to be established before pads and streets
- Building corners and gridlines need to be set for foundations
- Curb, gutter and hardscape need line and grade
- Utilities need trench alignments and invert grades
What KEG does
- 01Build and maintain site control from the approved plans
- 02Stake the elements each phase needs, when the crew needs them
- 03Deliver cut sheets documenting every staked point
- 04Flag plan conflicts we find in the field before they become rework
What you receive
- Stakes and marks for each requested phase
- Cut sheets for every staking visit
- Documented control the whole project can rely on
Most jobs are completed in 1–2 weeks. Scope, schedule and price are confirmed with you before fieldwork begins.
What affects cost
- Number of staking phases and site visits
- Density of points per visit
- Site conditions and how well stakes survive between phases
What affects timing
- Construction schedule and phase sequencing
- Plan revisions during construction
- Site readiness when the crew arrives
Construction Staking questions
When should staking be scheduled?
Phase by phase, just before each activity: rough grade before mass grading, building corners before foundations, curb before concrete. We work from your construction schedule.
What happens if the plans conflict with conditions in the field?
We flag it to your team before staking through the conflict, so the designer can resolve it on paper instead of the crew resolving it with a saw.
