How to choose a concrete-cutting method
Choose a starting point by the required shape: core drilling for circular holes, wall sawing for wall openings, and road sawing for accessible slabs or pavement.
Planning guideStructural & services information before concrete cutting
Current structural and services records help define cutting and drilling requirements. Identify reinforcement, post-tensioning, embedded services and investigation that remains to be completed.
Planning guideDimensions & quantities for concrete-cutting quotes
A clear quote schedule links each hole, opening or cut to measured dimensions and quantities. Label units and separate drawing values, site measurements, estimates and unknowns.
