The trade that decides your date is the one you buy last.
The site package is a small share of contract value, so it gets scoped late, awarded late, and mobilized late. Then the building tops out and it becomes the only thing between substantial completion and a certificate of occupancy.
At that point you have two exits. Wait for the work to finish and hold the opening. Or bond around it and encumber roughly 150 percent of the remaining value in capital you cannot deploy while you wait anyway.
Neither of those is a landscaping problem. Both are cash flow problems caused by landscaping.
We know what the last sixty days of a job look like, because we are standing in them. That is the whole reason this company sells the way it does.
We are not going to tell you what a delay costs on your job.
You have the contract value, the loan balance, and the date. Put them in.
Then read the last line. It shows how many days of slip erase the savings on the cheapest bid on your tab. On most projects that number is under a week.
Every assumption is conservative, visible, and adjustable. If you think we tilted one, change it and watch what happens.
Three steps. The first one takes four minutes.

Decide with a real number.
What we agree to before you send anything.
- 01 - No charge, and no obligation to use us.
- 02 - You do not have to move your current site contractor. Use the review against his number if that is what it is for.
- 03 - Your drawings are not circulated, shopped, or shared with another bidder.
- 04 - If your schedule does not fit this valley's season, we tell you at bid time, not in September.
- 05 - If we cannot hold the date, we say so before you award rather than after.
Every seam is somewhere a job goes wrong.
Your topsoil is already on site. You are about to pay for it twice.
Strip and haul.
Strip and stockpile.
Screen on day one.
No import, no export, and the excess sits on your project as an asset instead of arriving later as an invoice.
If your civil contractor is stripping this site, that is a conversation worth having before he does. Once the dirt is on a truck the cheap option is gone.
We will tell you in April what goes wrong in October.
The ground here closes around October 15 and no amount of overtime reopens it.
Work that misses the window does not slide to spring cleanly. It joins a queue with every other job that missed it, and it comes back carrying remobilization, resubmittals, reinspection, and a winter of erosion off an unstabilized slope. That is not a landscaping bill. It is a line on your final completion.
So we do the unpopular thing and say at bid time when a schedule does not fit the season. You are going to hear it from somebody eventually. Hearing it in April is cheaper than hearing it in September
Booking through October. Fall mobilizations confirmed by September.

You already know what a finished site looks like. What you do not know is whether we hit the day we said on a job that was genuinely at risk of not making it.

You will not find financial statements here and you should be wary of a sub who posts them publicly. If your process requires them they go to your surety or your prequalification platform, where they belong.
Your Most Important Questions Answered Here
Is GVSS licensed, bonded, and insured?
Yes. GVSS is licensed in the state of Montana, carries general liability to [$#]M and workers' compensation at commercial limits, and holds bonding capacity to [$#]M aggregate. Certificates and surety letters are available for any bid package on request.
Can GVSS review drawings before the set is final?
Yes, and it is the engagement we prefer. A preliminary plan review returns a budget checked against the engineer's estimate, substitutions that hold the design intent, a constructability read, and a schedule built around the local install window. There is no charge and no obligation to use us.
How do I add GVSS to a bid list?
Send the project name, a scope summary, your target mobilization date, and a point of contact through the form on this page. We reply within [#] business days.
What is the install window for site work in the Gallatin Valley?
Roughly April 1 to October 15. Hydroseed establishes best in May and June and again in September. Hardscape can run later, weather permitting. Work pushed past the window carries dormant seeding risk, winter stabilization cost, and a sprin
Does GVSS self perform, or subcontract the site package?
GVSS self performs site work, topsoil screening, grading, hardscape, irrigation infrastructure, and hydroseed and restoration. Perimeter fencing is coordinated rather than self performed.
How much screened topsoil can GVSS produce on site?
Up to 1,000 yards per day. On most commercial sites that is a short engagement rather than a phase, and it eliminates trucking in both directions.
What documentation does GVSS provide on a commercial project?
Submittals, schedule of values, certified payroll where required, lien waivers, and a close out package including as builts and warranty documentation.
Where does GVSS work?
Bozeman, Belgrade, Big Sky, Livingston, Manhattan, and Three Forks, across the greater Gallatin Valley.
