Your project.
Our responsibility.

Here’s what to expect when you work with SCS. Your project manager carries the condition, recommendation and written scope through the work.

Meet the people behind the work

  1. Inspect the condition

    Your project manager inspects the property and helps you understand what needs attention.

  2. Agree on the scope

    Review the recommendation, materials, work and price in writing before you commit.

  3. Coordinate the work

    Your project manager coordinates the work against the agreed scope and remains your point of contact.

  4. Walk the finished project

    Review the completed work with the project manager who knows its history.

Before your next concrete project.

What should a commercial concrete estimate make clear?

Ask for the footprint, intended use, preparation, specified reinforcement, access arrangements and responsibilities to be set out in writing. Keep the concrete scope distinct from later building work.

Why photograph the work before concrete covers it?

Those photographs preserve a view of the preparation and reinforcement. They help explain the sequence, while the written scope and any required inspection records establish the project requirements.

What information should I bring to the first conversation?

Share the location, intended use, available plans and any known access or scheduling constraints. SCS can review the site and explain what is needed to prepare a written estimate.
