Why the prior contact list was removed
An earlier version listed individual names and phone numbers supplied for past Port Adventure projects. Those details have been removed because current identity, affiliation, availability, credentials, insurance, and contact ownership could not be independently verified. Use current official business records, licensing tools, insurance confirmation, and recent references to build a new bid list for the exact project.
Verify the project before seeking bids
Start with the exact Port Adventure parcel and a written description of the work. Confirm boundaries, easements, recorded restrictions, association requirements, drainage, access, flood conditions, utilities, wastewater feasibility, setbacks, and permits. Tree clearing, fill, trenching, driveways, culverts, electrical service, plumbing, septic work, tiny homes, and RV improvements can involve different approvals and qualified trades. For parcel context, start with the Port Adventure buyer verification overview.
For onsite wastewater, review the Trinity County onsite septic permit process and contact the county for current forms and requirements. Do not let work begin based on an informal assurance that a septic layout, culvert, utility trench, or dwelling will be approved.
Contractor verification checklist
- Identity: verify the legal name, business name, physical or mailing address, and the person who will sign the contract.
- Qualifications: ask which licenses or registrations apply to each task. Use the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation license search for trades it regulates, and confirm other credentials with the responsible agency.
- Insurance: request a current certificate directly from the insurance agent and confirm that coverage fits the work. A certificate is not a guarantee that every claim will be covered.
- References: speak with recent customers who had comparable work. Ask about permits, changes, cleanup, communication, schedule, and final cost.
- Written scope: identify plans, materials, quantities, site preparation, hauling, disposal, inspections, cleanup, exclusions, start conditions, and who obtains permits.
- Price and payment: compare itemized bids, define change-order approval, tie progress payments to completed work, and avoid an unexplained demand for full payment up front.
- Utilities and digging: require safe locating procedures before excavation. Public utility marking may not identify private lines, septic components, or owner-installed facilities.
- Closeout: collect approvals, inspection records, warranties, receipts, lien releases where appropriate, and photographs before final payment.
Red flags
Pause if a provider refuses written terms, pressures you to pay immediately, asks for payment to an unrelated person, will not provide verifiable references, dismisses permit requirements, or promises a result without reviewing the parcel. Confirm any changed phone number through an independent source; do not send money or sensitive documents merely because a caller uses a name shown here.
Contact details and business status can change after the review date. Recheck them on the day you request a bid and again before signing. Elegment Land is not a party to a contract you make with a provider and does not guarantee the provider’s work, schedule, price, or outcome.
