Our Commercial Concrete Process

We follow a proven, systematic approach to commercial concrete projects that ensures exceptional results and client satisfaction at every stage.

1. Initial Consultation & Site Evaluation
We begin with a thorough discussion of your project requirements and evaluation of site conditions. We consider soil conditions, drainage, load requirements, and project-specific factors that will influence concrete design.

2. Engineering & Design Development
Our team works with structural engineers to develop appropriate concrete specifications, reinforcement plans, and joint layouts. We address critical factors like load-bearing requirements, crack control, and durability concerns.

3. Detailed Estimation & Planning
We provide comprehensive cost estimates based on your specific project requirements. Our planning process addresses scheduling, site access, concrete delivery logistics, and coordination with other trades.

4. Site Preparation & Formwork
We meticulously prepare the site, establishing proper grades, compacting subgrade, installing forms, and placing reinforcement according to engineering specifications. This critical phase establishes the foundation for success.

5. Concrete Placement & Finishing
Our experienced crews place concrete with precision, using appropriate consolidation techniques and initial finishing. Our skilled finishers then apply the specified surface treatments appropriate for the commercial application.

6. Curing & Quality Verification
We implement appropriate curing procedures to ensure optimal concrete strength development. We conduct testing to verify strength and quality, and perform a thorough quality inspection before project completion.

Popular FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of concrete are used for different commercial applications?
Commercial concrete specifications vary based on application requirements. Typical commercial floor slabs use 3,500-4,000 PSI concrete with fiber or steel reinforcement, while foundations often require 4,000-5,000 PSI mixes with appropriate reinforcement for structural integrity. Exterior concrete exposed to freeze-thaw cycles requires air-entrained mixes with 4,500+ PSI ratings. Industrial floors subject to heavy equipment may need 6,000+ PSI concrete with special hardeners. During our engineering phase, we work with structural engineers to specify the optimal concrete mix and reinforcement for your specific application.
How do you minimize business disruption during commercial concrete work?
We implement several strategies to minimize impact on business operations: developing phased pour schedules that allow continued access to portions of your facility; creating temporary access routes; scheduling major concrete placements during off-hours or weekends when possible; coordinating closely with other trades to maintain efficient project flow; and maintaining clear communication about work schedules and areas. For occupied buildings, we establish dust containment systems and safety barriers to protect ongoing operations.
What surface finish options are available for commercial concrete?
Commercial concrete can receive various finishes depending on the application: standard troweled finishes for interior slabs; broom finishes with different textures for exterior flatwork requiring slip resistance; burnished finishes for decorative or polished concrete; exposed aggregate for architectural applications; stamped or textured concrete for specialized areas; and densified/sealed surfaces for industrial applications requiring dust control and chemical resistance. During our consultation, we'll discuss which finishes best meet your functional requirements and aesthetic goals.
How do you ensure durability in commercial concrete projects?
Durability in commercial concrete comes from proper design, quality materials, and careful execution. We ensure durability through: appropriate concrete mix specifications for the application; proper subgrade preparation and compaction; correct reinforcement placement; control joint design and installation; appropriate curing procedures; and application of sealers or hardeners when needed. For exterior concrete in the Pacific Northwest, we pay particular attention to drainage design, freeze-thaw protection, and joint sealing to protect against moisture penetration. Our quality control procedures include concrete testing and inspection throughout the process.
