Project Overview
This scope focuses on concrete placement, finishing, joint cutting, and curing. It assumes site prep and forming are complete or handled separately.
Typical Projects Include:
- Driveway or patio pour
- Garage or basement slab
- Foundation wall pour
- Sidewalk or curb pour
- Decorative or stamped concrete
- Commercial floor slab
Scope of Work
Pre-Pour Verification
| Task | Description |
|---|---|
| Form Check | Verify forms are set to correct dimensions, braced, and ready for concrete. |
| Reinforcement Check | Confirm rebar or mesh is in place and properly supported. |
| Concrete Order | Confirm mix design, quantity, and delivery schedule with the batch plant. |
Placement & Finishing
| Task | Description |
|---|---|
| Concrete Placement | Place concrete evenly, consolidate as needed, and maintain consistent thickness. |
| Screeding & Floating | Strike off to grade and bull float to level the surface. |
| Finishing | Apply specified finish — broom, trowel, stamp, or exposed aggregate. |
| Joint Cutting | Cut or tool control joints at specified spacing within the required timeframe. |
Curing & Cleanup
| Task | Description |
|---|---|
| Curing | Apply curing compound or cover with plastic/wet burlap for specified cure time. |
| Cleanup | Clean tools, remove washout, and leave the site tidy. |
Timeline & Milestones
A concrete pour is typically a single-day event with curing extending over the following week.
| Phase | Duration | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Pour Check | 1-2 hours | Verify forms, reinforcement, and delivery schedule. |
| Pour & Finish | 4-8 hours | Concrete placement and finishing. |
| Curing | 3-7 days | Curing period — keep traffic off the concrete. |
Roles & Responsibilities
Client / General Contractor
- •Ensure forms and reinforcement are ready before pour day
- •Confirm site access for concrete trucks and pump
- •Keep people and traffic off fresh concrete
- •Process payment per the agreed terms
Concrete Contractor
- •Order and coordinate concrete delivery
- •Place, finish, and cure the concrete
- •Cut control joints within the required timeframe
- •Clean up the pour area
Materials & Equipment
Concrete
- •Ready-mix concrete (specified PSI)
- •Color additive (if decorative)
- •Curing compound or sheeting
Tools & Equipment
- •Screed board or vibrating screed
- •Bull float and hand floats
- •Edging and grooving tools
- •Concrete saw for control joints
Quality Control Standards
Mix Verification
Check batch ticket matches specified mix design, PSI, and slump.
Consistent Finish
Uniform surface finish with no cold joints, honeycombing, or surface defects.
Joint Timing
Control joints cut within 6-18 hours of pour (before random cracking occurs).
Safety Protocols
Concrete Contact
Wear rubber boots and gloves — wet concrete causes chemical burns.
Truck Safety
Stay clear of backing concrete trucks. Use a spotter.
Heat/Cold Precautions
Adjust procedures for hot or cold weather pours to prevent quality issues.

Financial Terms
Payment Structure
Pour work is often paid in full upon completion since it's typically a single-day event.
Terms & Conditions
- •Deposit or full payment due before pour day
- •Concrete material cost is pass-through from batch plant
- •Pump truck cost billed separately if required
- •Change orders for extra yardage approved on-site
