Temporary does not mean free. A construction easement takes the use of part of your property for a defined period, and that period has a value.
A temporary construction easement gives a contractor the right to occupy part of your property while a project is built, for staging, grading, access or working room.
It ends when the work ends, but during it you lose the use of that area, and the condition in which the land is returned matters.
