Dallas concrete contractor research

North Texas soil movement and drainage make the preparation below a slab as important as the finish on top. Our launch coverage focuses on the two questions that change scopes fastest: site conditions and city-controlled right-of-way work.

Before the first estimate

Four scope checks

  1. 1.Ask how the contractor evaluated subgrade, drainage and nearby downspouts.
  2. 2.Put thickness, reinforcement, joints, base preparation and curing method in the scope.
  3. 3.Separate work on private property from approaches, sidewalks or curb work in city right-of-way.
  4. 4.Do not accept a structural diagnosis based on a regional soil map alone.
