Site Concrete & Flatwork Estimating Services

Site concrete is easy to underestimate because it's often treated as an afterthought to building concrete - a line item tacked onto the end of a structural takeoff instead of its own scope. But curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and pads carry their own profile requirements, joint layouts, and accessibility standards, and they're one of the most frequently under-scoped items on a sitework bid because they're scattered across the civil, landscape, and paving plans rather than shown in one place.

Why Site Concrete & Flatwork Estimating Is Different

Site concrete rarely appears as one consolidated plan sheet - curb and gutter show up on the civil grading plan, sidewalks appear on the landscape plan, and equipment pads are buried in the mechanical or electrical drawings. We cross-reference all of these sources so that flatwork isn't missed simply because it wasn't shown where it was expected, and so the same run of curb doesn't get counted twice across overlapping plan sheets.

ADA compliance is one of the biggest cost and risk drivers in this scope - detectable warning panels, ramp slopes, and landing dimensions all have to meet specific code requirements, and missing them at bid time is a common source of change orders during inspection. We take off curb and gutter by profile type (since profiles vary and affect concrete volume), price ADA ramps and detectable warning panels as their own line items, and account for joint and control layout, which affects both material quantity and finishing labor.

Who This Is For

General contractors use our site concrete takeoffs to make sure flatwork scattered across multiple plan sheets is fully captured in the bid, with ADA compliance items clearly itemized. Concrete subcontractors use them to price curb, gutter, sidewalk, and pad scope quickly and consistently across projects. Developers and owners use site concrete estimates to budget accessibility upgrades and hardscape circulation as part of broader site improvement projects.

Working From What You Have

We can produce a preliminary site concrete quantity from a conceptual civil and landscape plan set. As ADA compliance details, curb profiles, and joint layouts are finalized in later design phases, we refine the estimate to match the exact specified profiles and code requirements.
