Meet Daniel McGettigan, Our Marketing Assistant Intern

At Berg Construction, we value creativity and initiative in our team members. Danny McGettigan, a senior at Twin Valley High School and a student in the Business Management and Entrepreneurship (BME) program at Berks Career and Technology Center (BCTC), joined us in a unique way.

After a summer of filling out internship applications, Danny decided to take a different approach. He posted an elevator pitch on a local community Facebook page, showcasing his skills and enthusiasm. His effort stood out to us, and after two interviews, we welcomed him as our Marketing Assistant intern.

Discovering the Construction Industry

Danny admitted that he initially doubted how his business skills would fit into the construction industry. However, he quickly realized how universal foundational business practices are. “I never paid much attention to the construction industry. Now, I notice everything—from the jobs we work on to the logos on the trucks. It’s all important,” Danny shared.

As a Marketing Assistant, Danny has taken on diverse projects. He creates videos, blogs, graphics, and manages social media content. His knowledge of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), developed through BCTC’s curriculum, has been an incredible asset to Berg Construction. “They didn’t expect a high school student to know about SEO, but getting good placement on search engines was something they needed,” Danny explained.

The BME program’s focus on practical business skills, such as creating business plans, pitching ideas, and mastering terminology, prepared Danny well for this role. Weekly planning meetings have also been a highlight of his internship. “The business knowledge I’ve gained is invaluable. It has changed my outlook on the construction industry,” he said.

Looking Ahead

After graduating, Danny plans to pursue a degree in Business Management at Liberty University in Virginia. We are proud to have been part of his journey and look forward to seeing his future success.

Danny’s story highlights how taking initiative can open doors. His drive and adaptability demonstrate the determination of some young professionals still, despite getting a bad rep. We’re honored to have Danny on the Berg Construction team and are excited to watch his future unfold.

Residential Site Work and Septic System Installation

Return to Blog

Preparing a property for residential construction requires precision, expertise, and a commitment to doing things the right way. At Berg Construction, we specialize in comprehensive site work services for private home builders, delivering quality and reliability across Montgomery County, Chester County, Delaware County, and Berks County.

Our services include everything from basement excavation and grading to stormwater management, utility installation, and septic system installation. While our primary partnerships are with private home builders, we work directly with homeowners on specialized septic system projects to ensure they receive the expert care such installations demand.

Site Work: The Foundation of a Successful Build

Every home starts with the land, and ensuring it’s properly prepared is a critical step in the construction process. Site work involves shaping the landscape to accommodate the build, ensuring proper drainage, installing utilities, and creating a solid foundation for long-term structural integrity.

At Berg Construction, we approach each project with care and precision, working closely with home builders to meet demanding timelines and deliver results that stand the test of time.

What We Offer

Comprehensive Site Work for Home Builders

We partner with private home builders on a wide range of residential construction projects, providing services that set their projects up for success:

Excavation for Basements: Accurate digging and grading for stable and secure foundations.

– Grading: Ensures proper water runoff to prevent pooling and protect homes from future water damage.
– Stormwater Management: Custom solutions to control runoff and minimize erosion while adhering to local regulations.
– Utility Installation: Expert placement of water, sewer, and electrical lines, ensuring seamless integration with the property’s design.

Our team understands the fast-paced nature of residential construction and has the experience to handle tight schedules without compromising quality.

Septic System Installation: Trusted by Homeowners

While we primarily work with home builders, we often collaborate directly with homeowners for septic system installations. This work requires a specialized touch and a deep understanding of both regulatory requirements and site-specific conditions.

If you’re a homeowner building in an area without access to municipal sewer systems or upgrading an outdated septic system, Berg Construction provides trusted expertise.

A Commitment to Quality and Trust

At Berg Construction, we understand that site work is more than just moving dirt—it’s about creating a foundation for homes and communities. Our team is built on trust, reliability, and a shared commitment to quality.

For Builders

We take pride in being a dependable partner, delivering consistent results that keep projects moving smoothly. Our expertise and collaborative approach help builders meet deadlines and exceed client expectations.

For Homeowners

When working directly with homeowners on septic system projects, we prioritize clear communication, attention to detail, and respect for their property. These projects require a high level of trust, and we are dedicated to delivering work that exceeds expectations.

Why Site Work Matters

Proper site work ensures that:

-Homes are built on stable and secure foundations.
-Drainage and stormwater systems protect the property from flooding or erosion.
-Utilities are installed safely and function as intended.
-Septic systems operate efficiently and comply with local regulations.

These elements are the backbone of a successful residential project, and they require a team with the skills and experience to get them right.
