Task B-7 Prepares site
Task Descriptor
Construction craft workers are the first and last workers on a construction site. They clear sites, set up temporary facilities, utilities and environmental protections, and depending on soil conditions, may install pilings. This is also called mobilization and demobilization and allows for other trades to perform their tasks.

Task B-8 Performs groundwork
Task Descriptor
Groundwork is done on ICI, residential, and civil sites (roads, bridges, railways) to prepare a site for construction activities. This includes excavation to break the ground and remove existing material, allowing for the installation of components within the excavation site. Backfilling and compaction are often performed to fill in the excavation and consolidate the backfill.
