Putting a wildflower mix on the dirt on the building site?

After about 3 weeks of delay due to the late spring, we're finally seeing some action on our build.

The preliminary dirt work should be done this week (everything but the driveway and final grading). I was thinking of buying a wildflower mix and spreading it on the dirt around the house to discourage erosion and help control mud. I don't care if the flowers are driven on by equipment and killed or if I have flowers sprouting up in my grass later. We're building on acreage and the lawn we have won't be visible from the road, so it won't bother anyone else either.

Is there are reason my doing this would cause problems with the build?

I thought I'd avoid the area where the septic will go and where we plan to put the driveway, if that matters.
