Commercial and industrial sitework in Bloomfield Hills, MI: site development, heavy earthwork, underground utilities, storm water and demolition, run by the owner from mobilization to final grade.
Contracted sitework for commercial projects in Bloomfield Hills
Short Excavating takes commercial and industrial excavation projects in Bloomfield Hills, MI, as part of the work we do across Oakland County, MI along with nearby Troy, Novi and Rochester Hills. The clients here are the general contractors and owners building here: site development, building pads cut to engineered elevations, bulk earthwork, underground utilities, storm water systems and demolition, scoped as a contracted project with a schedule attached.
Bloomfield Hills is roughly ~3h15m from our shop in Fort Wayne, and we are straight about what that means. Small same-day service calls belong with an outfit down the road, and we will say so rather than pretend otherwise. That distance works well for contracted sitework, where equipment mobilizes once and stays until the scope is complete. When we commit to a job in Bloomfield Hills, the machines are there for the duration.
On the ground, that means site development, commercial site prep, commercial excavation, heavy earthwork and large scale excavation. Underground it means commercial site utilities and industrial site utilities, and if a building has to come down first, commercial demolition.

Commercial projects in Bloomfield Hills
The commercial work around Bloomfield Hills tends toward office, institutional and light industrial projects. On those sites the excavation scope runs from stripping and stockpiling topsoil through site prep, mass earthwork and cut and fill, to building pads compacted and proofed before anyone sets a form.
Below grade, the scope usually includes commercial site utilities for sanitary, storm and water service, plus water mains and fire hydrants where the plans call for them. Industrial sites get industrial utilities installed to spec for deeper, heavier runs, and storm water management covers detention and the structures that move runoff off the site. All of it gets set to the plan’s inverts before anything is backfilled.
For a GC in Bloomfield Hills, the value is one phone number for the dirt side of the job. The owner handles commercial demolition on the existing structure, then the pad and utilities for whatever goes up next, whether that is an office building, a restaurant, a gas station, an oil change building or a school. When a question comes up, there is one person to ask.
Done right, the first time.
The difference shows up in the parts you do not see, and those are exactly the parts the owner checks himself.
Why a GC in Bloomfield Hills hires an owner-operator
Commercial work runs against a fixed date, like a store opening or a lease that starts whether the building is ready or not. Earthwork that has to be redone eats directly into that date, because nothing above ground can start until the ground is right. A cracked slab or a parking lot that ponds after the first storm also lands on the GC’s reputation with the owner. That is a lot riding on work most people never see.
On a commercial job in Bloomfield Hills, the person who prices the work is the person who digs it. Short Excavating is owner-operated, so there is no handoff between the man who walked the site and a crew seeing the plans for the first time. When your super has a question about an invert or a pad elevation, he asks the man in the seat and gets an answer on the spot. That cuts out the back-and-forth that eats days on a busy site.
If you have a project in Bloomfield Hills, MI, send the owner the site plans. He reviews the scope, comes and walks the ground, and gives you a real number and a schedule you can hold your other trades to.
Questions, answered.

What commercial services do you offer in Bloomfield Hills?
Commercial excavation and site development are the core of it, along with site prep, heavy earthwork, large scale digs, underground utilities, storm water systems and demolition of existing structures.
What size projects do you take in Bloomfield Hills?
Contracted commercial and industrial scopes. Bloomfield Hills is about ~3h15m from the Fort Wayne shop, which is too far for small same-day service calls but well suited to a defined project where the equipment mobilizes and stays. Smaller work close to Fort Wayne is handled from the counties nearer the shop.
Can you work from engineered civil plans?
Yes. The engineer’s drawings set the target, and the owner shoots grade with a laser to hit it, from the pad to the last storm structure.
How does mobilizing to Bloomfield Hills affect the price?
Travel and mobilization factor into a job ~3h15m out, and the owner tells you that up front when he gives you the number. No surprises added later.
The buried work is the whole job
Short Excavating uses gasketed pipe on its underground runs, which holds up against roots far better than glued joints. It is a small choice a facility manager in Bloomfield Hills never thinks about until a line backs up. On a utility installation or a storm water system, the joints are where trouble starts, so the owner picks the pipe that keeps them tight for the long haul.
What sits under a pad matters as much as the pad itself. Topsoil and soft material have to come out first, and the fill that replaces it gets compacted and proofed before the building goes up. On a commercial project in Bloomfield Hills, MI, those steps are buried by the time the walls are framed, so the owner does them right while he can still see them.
