A local farmer is building a new shop and I am helping them with the building pad. The building is 120' x 150'. The concrete guy wants it to be level within 1/2". After being told that and picking my chin up off the ground the building Rep said if we can get it within 2" that would be plenty good enough. I should note, the building will be sitting on all cut dirt. Currently, we are about 1 ft above grade. I am trying to figure out the best way to establish the final grade. One option is I have a blade mount laser receiver for my dozers but my smallest dozer is a D65 Komatsu with a 4 way blade. Another option is.... The farmer has 2 tractors that are pulling scrapers with some sort of gps on them that tells its elevation and seems to be pretty accurate according to some shots I have taken with my laser and then compared it to there gps readings. I am just trying to figure out what would be the best way to come up with final grade. Any and all input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
