A concrete job involves multiple steps to ensure durability, strength, and a high-quality finish. Here’s what’s typically included:

what's included in a concrete job?

1. Planning & Preparation

• Site Inspection & Measurement – Assessing the area, measuring dimensions, and checking soil conditions.

• Permits & Approvals – Obtaining necessary permits if required.

• Excavation & Groundwork – Removing existing material, leveling, and compacting the ground to create a stable base.

2. Formwork & Reinforcement

• Building Forms – Installing wooden or metal forms to shape the concrete and hold it in place.

• Adding Reinforcement – Using rebar or wire mesh to strengthen the concrete and prevent cracking.

3. Mixing & Pouring Concrete

• Selecting the Right Concrete Mix – Choosing the appropriate mix based on strength, durability, and weather conditions.

• Pouring & Spreading – Pouring the concrete evenly and spreading it with tools to eliminate air pockets.

4. Finishing & Curing

• Smoothing & Leveling – Using screeds and floats to achieve a smooth surface.

• Adding Textures or Designs – Stamping, broom finishing, or staining for decorative effects.

• Curing Process – Allowing the concrete to set and gain strength over several days, often with moisture retention techniques.

5. Cleanup & Final Inspection

• Removing Forms – Taking out formwork after the concrete has hardened.

• Sealing the Surface – Applying sealants to protect against moisture, stains, and cracks.

• Final Inspection – Checking for quality, cracks, or defects before project completion.
