Concrete planning guide

Record concrete maintenance responsibilities at handover

Maintenance expectations should be understandable before the owner returns an area to normal use. Written instructions keep the discussion specific to the installed system.

What to record

  • Ask for approved cleaning, care and protection instructions and any relevant product information.
  • Identify who maintains joints or adjacent drains.
  • Keep the handover documents with the scope and completion photographs.

The decision to discuss

Avoid assuming that a generic online tip applies to every coating, resurfacer or sealer. Follow the actual project instructions. Maintenance responsibilities and the existing workmanship warranty should be stated without implying additional coverage.

Why the surrounding context matters

New concrete needs appropriate moisture and temperature conditions while it develops its intended properties. Repair products also have their own protection requirements. The actual installed system and use should determine the care and reopening discussion rather than a generic calendar rule.
