Checklist for planning the slab on a new build
Agree on the finished floor you want before the concrete is poured and before other trades start.

These seven worksheets cover stained concrete, polishing, coatings, overlays and restoration. Open, print or download them. There's no contact form to fill out first.
Agree on the finished floor you want before the concrete is poured and before other trades start.
Use this with the quote so everyone can see the prep work and what isn't included.
Approve a real sample on your slab before the color goes across the whole floor. Acid stain reacts with each slab differently, so a photo can't show you how yours will turn out.
Sort out access and site conditions before our crew shows up.
Once you know which finish went down and when it can take traffic, plan how later trades will protect it.
Fill this out for the system you actually picked. Our reference examples aren't an approved spec for your project.
Track the install steps separately from the date each area can reopen.
These templates keep the owner, the builder and our crew working from the same notes. For the real job, you fill in the product names, pass or fail standards, application steps and reopening dates. The manufacturer's current instructions come first. A blank worksheet isn't a manufacturer's approval for your project.
The product reference library explains the main product types and links to manufacturer documentation. Use the product submittal worksheet to write down the products you picked and which version of each document you used. On that same sheet, you note whether the products work together and who checked. Want a second set of eyes on a filled in worksheet? Send it to us with your plans. We'll give it a practical contractor review, not engineering, design or code approval. Your design professional stays responsible for the specs.
