Practical planning guide

Concrete 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.

Describe occupied areas and site restrictions

Tell the office whether adjoining areas remain occupied and how the project plans access to the work. Explain building or site restrictions without assuming a generic equipment method will resolve them. Share the responsible coordinator’s role and the relevant project arrangements.

Include setup, work and handover times

State the time available for access, setup, the defined task and handover. Identify staged areas or dates that depend on other trades. A requested window is a planning input, not confirmation that the work or attendance has been accepted.

Allocate isolation and adjoining-work responsibilities

Identify who arranges approvals, inductions, service isolation, protection of adjoining areas, support and material removal where relevant. Include the next trade’s required result. Those responsibilities should be agreed through the project’s normal planning process.

Review access and programme changes

If access, quantities, readiness or the programme changes, discuss the revised scope before attendance. Explain the effect on equipment positioning and mobilisation. The office confirms availability and the agreed work package; the website cannot promise an emergency or out-of-hours response.

Your enquiry checklist

  • Occupied areas and site restrictions
  • Setup, task and handover windows
  • Coordinator and interface responsibilities
  • Readiness, staging and possible changes

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

Occupied-site concrete work FAQs

These answers help you prepare an enquiry. For requirements specific to your site, talk to the office.

Discuss your project
What should a working window include for cutting or drilling?

State the time available for entry, setup, the defined work, collection or cleaning and handover. Identify dependencies on other trades and any staged areas that become available at different times.

Which occupied-building restrictions should I mention?

Include permitted working hours, shared routes, occupied areas and site requirements for noise, water, dust or access. Identify who coordinates isolation, protection and building or site permissions.

What happens if the site is not ready at the planned time?

Contact the office to review the changed access, quantities or programme. Equipment positioning, mobilisation and availability may need reassessment, and any revised attendance or scope must be agreed.

Discuss your project with Quickcore.

Send the site address and what needs doing. The office reviews the scope and availability before a quote or booking is agreed.
