Abstract:
Perhaps more than any other product installed on a job site, concrete requires advance planning. Details need to be worked out so that everyone involved understands what is and is not acceptable before the first day of placement. The best way to accomplish this is with a preconstruction conference, held about four weeks before the first placement. Whether held before bidding or before construction, meetings to discuss the project and iron out difficulties ahead of time foster an open channel of communication that will continue throughout the construction process.
