Grading plans are maps that shape the land to meet your development. Some lands are low and we need to "grade" them to be higher or sloped to drain them better. Civil engineers will grade the land to make streets and driveways work easier and accomidate the flow of travel. Grading a lot is important to keep water flowing around the building, keep water away from areas that we dont want to drown out or pond and to help smooth out a lot for cars to travel. We once helped a client grade their proprety for their Ferrari's that were low to the ground and they did not want to scratch the bottoms of the car. Or maybe your lot has alot of water pond or collect at the same location where you want to put the building so our engineer may need to raise the lot and start moving the water around the new building.
A feasibilty study can provide additional information on the grading of the lot to better understand how much work needs to be done to shape the land and construct your building.
