South Bay Grading is a Bay Area-based heavy civil contractor and estimating consulting firm offering Class A General Engineering services. Specializing in grading, excavation, and site work.

We operate as a general engineering contractor, managing and coordinating all field operations. Sourcing the right subcontractors, overseeing execution, and ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to spec.
But we are more than a contractor. We are a strategic partner for contractors looking to grow.

Our consulting and estimating division works directly with contractors to sharpen their bids, strengthen their operations, and position them to compete for larger, more complex projects. From precise quantity takeoffs and competitive bid strategy to project planning and business development support, we bring structure and discipline to every stage of the pre construction process.

Led by Shawn Dean, who has over 45 years of Bay Area field and leadership experience. Our team combines deep local knowledge of site conditions, regulatory environments, and industry networks with the operational rigor that drives consistent results.

Whether you need a trusted contractor to manage your earthwork scope end-to-end, or a consulting partner to help your company scale, South Bay Grading delivers on both fronts.
