Know what matters. Plan concrete clearly.
Follow the five phases that make concrete work easier to describe, verify, approve, and document. Field conditions and requirements are still confirmed by the professional.
Trade know-how
Understand the job before it starts.
Concrete scope depends on use, dimensions, support, drainage, reinforcement, finish, access, right-of-way conditions, and whether the work is structural. Use these five phases to describe the work clearly. The professional still verifies field conditions, requirements, and the final scope.
How this work starts
Details first; a visit when needed
Name the result
- Choose slab, walk, patio, driveway, steps, repair, or other work.
- Describe intended use, approximate area, finish, and removal needs.
Document what is visible
- Record dimensions, slope and drainage, cracks or movement, edges, adjacent structures.
- Also record vehicle or load use, access, utilities, right-of-way contact, and photos.
Use the honest review path
- Simple private flatwork may be details-first.
- Structural work, failed slabs, uncertain subgrade, retaining conditions, drainage, right-of-way, utilities, or heavy loads require field review.
Approve the written scope
- Confirm dimensions and thickness, removal, base and reinforcement, mix and finish, joints.
- Also confirm slope and drainage, forms, access, utility locates, permit, curing, and exclusions.
Keep one project record
- Continue in Completa with the approved dimensions, mix and reinforcement details.
- Also keep progress photos, inspection records when applicable, cure instructions, and changes.
From request to accepted work
Know what happens at each decision.
You provide what can be observed. Completa organizes it into a project request. Whether that request can be estimated remotely depends on the facts, and a professional reviews the real project before any agreement is accepted.
01 · Scope
Build the scope from observable facts.
Record the address, requested work, measurements, safe photos, condition, access, timing, and anything still unknown.
02 · Estimate or field review
Estimate what is defined; review what is not.
Supported work with enough reliable detail can receive a scope-based estimate. Unresolved site facts require field review first.
03 · Choose and review
Choose a pro; the pro reviews.
Where matching is available, review the connection and decide whether to continue. The pro reviews the actual request before agreement.
04 · Accepted work
Accept only the reviewed work.
The reviewed scope, price, and terms both sides approve become the project record—not the unreviewed request by itself.
What field review means
A field review resolves facts a screen cannot safely confirm.
A professional checks site conditions that answers, photos, or remote measurements cannot establish. This protects both sides from pricing undefined work; it does not guarantee acceptance or a particular price, and Completa does not fill unknown scope with an invented number.
No submitted estimate becomes accepted work until a professional reviews the project and both sides agree to the scope, price, and terms.
