A fairly specialized stage of the building process is commercial grading. Groundwater intrusion could lead to structural issues, poor drainage could have a severe influence on the environment, and construction results without adequate ground preparation could differ greatly from the architectural concept.

For anything from a parking lot or small restaurant to high-rise office buildings, it is crucial to create and carry out the site grading plan professionally and to exact specifications.

Any construction site needs to be ready before construction can start, which includes grading and leveling the soil. Grading is the process of shaping a piece of land to meet the requirements of a particular project. Grading is intended to:

- Ensure the property has the required aesthetics and drainage
- Obey all zoning limitations, as well as other legal mandates
- Determine the height and depth of cuts, fills, and swales that are acceptable.
- Consider storm water runoff, potential pollutants, and erosion when protecting the environment.

Grading and site preparation are crucial for construction projects because they affect nearby residences or other structures in addition to the structure being built.

Water runoff may move toward the structure due to improper grading rather than being properly directed away. When water collects around or beneath the foundation, hydrostatic pressure can result, causing structural damage.

Inadequate grading might also cause water or pollutants to be directed onto nearby properties, putting the builder or owner of the new facility in legal jeopardy. Additionally, erosion can cause property damage.

To prevent issues brought on by improper grading or a failure to comply with land grading standards, many planning and zoning jurisdictions demand approved grading plans prior to starting construction.

Grading plans are frequently needed in municipalities or regions before work can start, and inspections are necessary to receive a passing grade following grading projects.

Grading projects are examined and given a certificate of approval so that building or landscaping can start. This approval shows that the final elevations and drainage meet the specifications of the grading plan.

Site grading plans include numerous important elements that planning officials must assess:

Many jurisdictions have limitations for the maximum permissible coverage of buildings or other structures, including lot size and structure coverage %. Reviewers can use this value as a quick reference to check whether the criteria is being met.
