Quality from the Start

ABOUT BENCHMARK DIRT WORX

Combining 30+ years of  home building experience with a passion for quality and excellence.

Kent has been in the construction industry for 30+ years, performing duties ranging from general laborer and heavy equipment operator to project foreman, custom home designer, and professional nail-bender. While often remarking that he “just bends nails for a living,” Kent is truly an artist when it comes to custom home building. Calling on his varied experiences in the industry, he strives to bring quality and excellence to every project he touches.
Over the years, he’s seen how improper site preparation, improperly built foundations, faulty finish grading, and poor runoff water management impact a home and cause significant and costly damage. Here at Benchmark Dirt Worx, we believe that many of these issues can be avoided early on by proper site work. Just like building on rock doesn’t ensure a solid foundation, building a new home on the side of a hill will not ensure perfect water management. Everything from how close your home is to the top, or crown, of the hill to how deep into the hill your basement goes will impact how well the surrounding ground can care for your home.
On a construction site, surveyors mark out the “benchmark”: the highest point to be used as a reference point for all other survey points on the project. Our name comes from that survey point. We at Benchmark Dirt Worx strive to provide the highest level of service possible during our portion of the project so that the rest of the project is ready to start off on its best footing.
