Choose concrete or masonry work your crew can deliver, assess access and drainage, plan placement and curing around conditions, and price equipment and return visits.
Ask whether the project is a driveway, walk, patio, wall, or repair, and how the surface will be used. Record site address, access for equipment, and any standing water or movement.
The visible area does not reveal subgrade condition, drainage routes, soil movement, or utilities. Ask about prior settlement and where water runs during heavy rain.
Material volume is only one cost. Demolition, excavation, base work, reinforcement, forms, pumping or delivery, finishing, curing protection, access, and disposal all affect the job.
‘New patio’ does not define slab dimensions, thickness, base, reinforcement, finish, control joints, steps, or cleanup.
Pouring near utilities, a driveway, or occupied entryway creates hazards distinct from work in an empty yard. Record traffic, equipment access, and any trench or excavation.
A hairline surface crack and a moving wall crack are not the same issue. Ask when it appeared, whether it changes, and whether water crosses it.
An owner may want a low-maintenance path but not know whether a poured slab, unit pavers, or masonry steps fit the site.
Cold, hot, wet, or windy conditions can affect placement and curing plans. Ask whether the owner has a deadline for using a driveway or entrance.
A salesperson's sketch may not show the slope or edge that controls runoff. Give the crew verified dimensions and the intended drainage outcome.
A driveway campaign may produce structural foundation calls beyond the team's scope. Distinguish flatwork, masonry repair, and engineered walls on your site.
A fresh concrete surface is not ready for every use at completion. The owner needs the actual project-specific access and care guidance.
