Project requirements

Concrete cutting for structural openings

Doorways, wall openings and structural concrete modifications need defined cut layouts and section-handling arrangements. The cutting package follows the project’s design and approval requirements.

Provide the opening design

Show the intended opening, the structure that remains and the drawing revisions relevant to the work. Include available structural information and identify who resolves design questions. Cutting method selection is part of scope review, not a substitute for the project’s engineering or authorisation process.

Explain access around the concrete section

Photographs and dimensions should show the cutting face, working space and access to the opposite side where relevant. Tell the office about floor levels, supporting arrangements and nearby services. These details help distinguish an accessible wall cut from a more constrained package.

Allocate support, lifting and removal

The cut layout and removal plan need to work together. State who is responsible for support, lifting, section handling and removal. Explain the proposed material route and whether follow-on reinstatement is required. Those responsibilities should be clear before the work is booked.

Your enquiry checklist

  • Current drawings and required opening dimensions
  • Information about the retained structure
  • Access photographs and floor levels
  • Support, lifting and section-removal responsibilities

Send what you know and identify details still being confirmed. These guides help describe a project; the agreed site-specific scope determines the work.

Discuss your project
Does a wall-cutting quote approve the structural opening?

No. Structural design and project approval are separate from the cutting quote. Provide the current opening design and identify the designer or engineer responsible for resolving structural questions.

When might wire sawing be discussed for an opening?

Wire sawing may be considered for substantial or complex sections where geometry or access affects other cutting options. Include section dimensions, accessible sides and the proposed support and removal arrangements.

Should support and lifting be planned before cutting is booked?

Yes. Identify the parties responsible for support, lifting and section removal, and provide the project’s proposed arrangements. The cut layout and handling sequence need to be reviewed together before the scope is agreed.
