Concrete-cutting planning guides
Useful guides to prepare your enquiry, clarify responsibilities and discuss the work with the office.
Enquiry preparation checklists
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 guideCore-drilling quote checklist
A core-drilling enquiry needs a penetration schedule: finished hole diameter, quantity, marked location and known concrete thickness, with access and handling details.
Planning guidePlanning a concrete wall opening
Plan a wall-opening enquiry around the finished width and height, wall thickness, retained structure and removal of the cut section. Current design information defines the proposed alteration.
Planning guidePlanning concrete slab & pavement cuts
Slab and pavement cutting enquiries need a marked layout, total cut lengths and required depths. Include the surface material, work stages, access and what happens after cutting.
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 guideEquipment access for concrete cutting & demolition
Equipment access includes the route from loading to the work face, space to operate and the route for removed material. Photographs and measured restrictions help review the package.
Planning guideConcrete cutting, lifting & removal responsibilities
Cutting separates the concrete; support, lifting, handling and disposal determine how it is removed. Allocate each task before agreeing a cutting or demolition package.
Planning guidePhotos & drawings for a concrete-cutting quote
Useful quote attachments show the overall work area, marked cutting or drilling positions, written dimensions and equipment access. Include the current drawing revision when available.
Planning guideConcrete slurry & waste planning checklist
Plan concrete slurry as a sequence of collection, treatment and final handling. Describe the work generating it, available volumes, site space and responsibility for liquid and solids.
Planning guidePlanning regional & interstate concrete work
Regional and interstate enquiries need a defined work package, full site location and realistic programme. Quickcore reviews method, availability, travel and equipment mobilisation for each project.
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.
Planning guideConcrete work in occupied buildings & sites
Occupied-site concrete work needs agreed access windows, coordination with adjoining activities and clear work-area responsibilities. Include setup, the task and handover in the programme.
