Concrete is not priced by surface area alone

Two slabs of the same size may need different equipment. Thickness, rebar, footings, hidden utilities, access, nearby buildings, and the final result all matter.

If there are no drawings, photos of open edges, old repairs, or test holes can help. The site review should also check if nearby soil or base must be removed or graded again.

Decide where the material goes

The plan should say if concrete will be hauled away, crushed on site, stored, or reused. On-site crushing needs enough room, suitable concrete, dust and noise control, and a clear use for the crushed material.

  • Rough size and thickness
  • Known rebar, mesh, footings, or embedded items
  • Equipment and truck access
  • Nearby buildings, pavement, utilities, or busy areas
  • Haul-off, crushing, stockpile, or reuse plan
  • Required grade and next construction phase

Plan for the work after removal

Concrete removal may uncover soil, utility, or drainage work that affects the next crew. Say who will handle that work and how the surface should look when finished.

Flores can combine heavy concrete removal with demolition, digging, grading, and site prep when one crew can make the job easier.

Project rules vary.

Check permit, utility, safety, engineering, and inspection rules with the right agencies and trained experts.
