1Overview#
For concrete contractors. Customers say what the concrete is for (patios, driveways, paths, steps, slabs, foundations, retaining walls, pool decks, curbs or indoor floors), whether it's new, a replacement or a repair, the area (typed or drawn on the map), how many steps, the finish, what it will carry, what is wrong with it for repairs, what is there now and whether to remove it, the slope, whether a concrete truck can park next to it, extras like drainage and sealing, and when they'd like it done, with photos of the area, the access and any damage.
Concrete contractors: the project (patios, slabs, paths, steps, foundations), new, replacement or repair, area, finish, load, ground, truck access and the old surface.
2What your customers are asked#

Why these questions
- The area, drawn on the map or typed, gives you the volume straight from the request.
- What it will carry (people, cars, heavy vehicles or a building) sets the thickness and reinforcement.
- Truck access is the biggest hidden cost: a pump or barrows is flagged.
- Removing the old surface is flagged, so you can add breaking out and waste removal.
- Foundations and retaining walls are flagged: they may need plans, engineering or permits.
