Q: What’s involved in subdivision street construction in McKinney? A: Subdivision streets require proper base preparation (typically 8-12 inches of compacted base), drainage integration, pavement installation (3-4 inches asphalt for residential), and final striping. As a road construction contractor, we coordinate with utility contractors and ensure work meets City of McKinney engineering standards for acceptance.
Q: How do you coordinate with other trades during subdivision development? A: Road construction happens after underground utilities are installed and tested. We coordinate with water/sewer contractors, work around builders constructing homes, and phase work to maintain access. Communication with developers and other trades keeps projects on schedule.
Q: Can you meet the quality standards expected in McKinney developments? A: Absolutely. McKinney’s reputation demands quality pavement construction. We follow city specifications for base thickness, compaction, pavement design, and drainage. Our work consistently passes inspection because we build to specification from day one.
Q: What’s the typical timeline for subdivision street construction? A: Timeline depends on subdivision size. A 50-lot phase might take 3-4 weeks for base work and paving. Larger communities are built in multiple phases over months or years. We provide detailed schedules during planning and coordinate with developer timelines.
Q: Do you build commercial access roads and parking lots? A: Yes. We construct commercial roadways and parking areas for retail centers, office buildings, and mixed-use developments throughout McKinney. Commercial paving requires heavier base and thicker pavement than residential streets to handle constant traffic.
Q: How do you ensure drainage works properly in new streets? A: Proper drainage is critical in North Texas. We grade streets with adequate crown for water runoff, integrate with subdivision storm drainage systems, and ensure positive flow to inlets and detention ponds. Work follows McKinney’s stormwater management requirements. Call us here to discuss your development project.
