There are many factors involved with the price of a concrete cutting job. The following list outlines 5 of them:
1. Location
Location plays a role in the cost of concrete cutting projects, a few reasons why are; the ease of access to the area, whether radar scanning is required to check invisible issues, the depth of the concrete to be removed, and the type of equipment to use. Concrete cutters consider all of these factors when providing a quote.
2. Depth and Length
Depth and length of the cut will play a role in your quote. Many concrete cutters will charge by the square meter, the depth of the cut can also be a factor as deeper cuts can require more labour.
3. Resistant Materials in Concrete
There are many materials that can be found within concrete that may pose additional challenges during a cutting job. This often means more tools and techniques are required to complete the concrete cutting job.
4. Tolerances Needed for the Concrete Surface Finish
The majority of cuts require a specific depth and height tolerance from the finished surface of the cut out area in order to prevent a need for additional finishing work. The smaller the tolerances, the more difficult it will be to cut and remove material in a manner that meets those specifications.
5. Specific Issues or Challenges
A variety of different factors may present special challenges during concrete cutting. These may include sinkholes, retaining walls, sidewalks near power lines or fire hydrants. If additional equipment is required to complete the job safely, this may impact the overall cost.
