Grading & Excavation Books

Grading is the process of creating a level or precisely sloped base for the foundation of a construction project. Most projects, from buildings to roadways, require a level foundation. This means contractors with knowledge of grading and related work will always be in demand.

If you’re looking to learn more about the processes, codes, laws, and certification requirements for grading contractors, we have the books you need. This type of contracting work requires the use of vehicles, so you’ll need a driver’s license. You’ll also need a variety of skills, many of which you'll learn through apprenticeship programs or on-the-job training. Some states require additional certifications.
