CONCRETE & STORM SHELTERS
Concrete and foundations
Define the concrete or foundation work around the structure it supports and the site it occupies. Separate new foundations, ordinary flatwork and repairs so the design and estimate address the actual problem.
Measure length, width and thickness separately. Note base, access and excavation. Shelter dimensions and anchoring follow the selected product and engineered requirements.
Typical scope to confirm
Identify new work versus repair and document dimensions
Review elevations, soil and drainage conditions
Obtain structural design where required
Specify concrete, reinforcing, joints and inspection needs
Make it specific to your project.

SCOPE-SPECIFIC PRICING
Your scope sets the price.
General concrete/foundation request pending scope selection. A numeric range is withheld until the scope and relevant costs are known.
A planning reference for this service only. Selections, local labor, access, quantities and existing conditions need Coastal’s review. Do not add overlapping whole-project and component ranges.
Structural foundation versus nonstructural flatwork
Soil and drainage conditions
Reinforcement, access and repair complexity
What the reference covers
Confirm the written scope and responsibility for each item.
Allow for these separately
Unspecified structural repair or underpinning
Decorative treatments and building construction beyond the concrete scope
KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT
From first idea to finished work.
Plan the scope
Identify structural versus nonstructural concrete and review soil and drainage.
Prepare and approve
Review design and approvals; arrange excavation, forms and reinforcement.
Complete the work
Inspect as required before placement, then place and finish the concrete.
Review and close out
Protect curing work and confirm when loads or traffic may be introduced.
Planning & preparation
2–8 weeks
Work on site
2–7 working days plus curing
Illustrative planning allowance for the stated scope, not a promised start or completion date. On-site time starts after approvals and materials are ready; procurement, inspection waits, curing and discoveries can extend the calendar.
Excavation and base condition · Placement access and weather · Inspections and required curing
PERMIT PLANNING
Check the scope and jurisdiction
Permit needs depend on the work and property address. OKC and Edmond review structural alterations; Moore requires permits for most remodels. Confirm finish-only exceptions and any separate trade permits.
Changes to walls, structure or building use
Electrical, plumbing or HVAC changes
Work within a floodplain or historic district
ENGINEERING & DESIGN
Confirm design requirements
Review the load path, existing supports and proposed changes before work. An engineer may be needed for nonstandard spans, added loads, damage or a reviewer-requested design; a permit alone does not mean every detail needs engineering.
Load-bearing changes or uncertain framing
Nonstandard spans, concentrated loads or damaged supports
Soil, foundation or retaining conditions beyond an approved design
Confirm requirements with the city or county responsible for the property before work begins. The address, exact scope and adopted code determine the final requirements.
