Abstract:
Getting involved in the early stages of design, material choices, and budgeting can help decorative concrete contractors become an information resource regarding project performance and cost. To illustrate how this can be done, the author describes the procedures used to create a hardscaping master plan for a model home in San Antonio, TX. These types of services help make the decorative concrete contractor a partner with the owner and architect, not just another competing subcontractor.
