Have you noticed all the high piles of dirt and prep work they do on land starting two years before development?
This starts with geological drilling to understand the subsurface. These are the white spots you see on old Google maps.
Organic areas are removed and replaced with compactable fill.
Huge piles of of dirt are placed where needed and left up to a year to compact the soil and ensure it is stable.
Then it is all removed and the subsurface infrastructure is put in from the bottom up prior to construction.
