Setting a Solid Foundation

Concrete mistakes are permanent and expensive. A detailed scope of work is your best insurance against cracking, poor drainage, and structural issues.

Critical Concrete Details

Anchor Bolts: Who supplies them? Who sets them? The concrete sub usually sets them, but verify they have the correct layout from the framer.
Washout: Designate a specific area for trucks to wash out. Do not let them dump concrete waste just anywhere on the lot.
Control Joints: Specify exactly where you want saw cuts to control cracking, or ask for a joint layout plan.
Curing: Concrete needs time to cure. Ensure the scope includes proper curing methods (wet cure or compound).
