Thanks for this video. I just started a land development engineer job and your videos really reinforced my understanding of grading.

Thanks for the input! I will continue to make more. Any other topics you’d like me to cover?

Not an engineer but a young excavator looking to get into residential new construction. I will be watching more of your videos!!

I could probably learn a thing or two from YOU! Would you be interested in co-hosting a workshop?

Great video! I recently purchased a new construction and I suspect my builder didn't grade my yard properly per the grading plan. If I want to make sure the builder graded the yard as documented in the garading plan, how can I find someone to help check this? Do I look for civil engineer?

@@jiaweilu7869 thank you! And it’s always nice to start with civil engineer, but then the civil engineer will loop in a surveyor to pick up elevation points to understand what’s going on

Are there any upcoming videos on grading ? It would be much appreciated if you upload a video on grading with an example using civil 3d

Great video! I would love to see more on grading. Would love to see more detail. How do you find the FFE in the first place? How do you design a pond top height?

That would be a great video! Every project is unique, especially if projects are in different jurisdictions. I will be happy to make a video on this example.

Thanks so much 😭I have an internship this summer for land development too and I don’t know anything about grading I’m so nervous any tips ? I’m a third year junior

I wrote a couple paragraphs in the description. 1) understand you min/max slopes based on code/project manager 2) understand your existing grade and tie-in points to your boundary. That’s a must. 3) 2-10% slopes aren’t really that steep, considering context. 10% starts kinda getting steep for driveways but it’s still not bad. 4)understand quick math. 1 ft drop over 100 ft is 1%, OR 0.01 ft drop every 10 ft. 25% is also 1 ft drop over 4 ft. 5) ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS draw things out. I’m a PM with 5 yrs experience plus 3 internships and I still draw things out. Calculate your percentages for slopes and VISUALIZE it like you’re walking around.

Could you please tell me what is the buffer requirement?

@griffinfurlong 4 ай бұрын

Buffer requirements are dependent on County/City Land Development Codes (aka LDC). I highly suggest you go on Municode.com or review your jurisdiction’s website for that information. This info can also vary by your Zoning which is also governed by municipality.
