Protect Your Property with Smart Grading & Drainage Design

A great design doesn’t stop at walls and roofs — it starts with the ground beneath. At BuildWorkz, our grading and drainage services ensure your site drains properly, prevents flooding, and protects your investment for decades to come.

Whether you’re building a custom home, adding an extension, or developing a multi-lot community, our grading and drainage plans keep water flowing where it should, safeguard structures, and help you meet local stormwater regulations.

Why do I need a grading and drainage plan?
