Pre-Bid Site Visit Process for Concrete

The Pre-Bid Site Visit Process workflow helps concrete contractors validate jobsite requirements before submitting bids. It includes reviewing excavation conditions, checking access for trucks and equipment, confirming soil stability, and identifying safety or logistical challenges. Managers document findings, take photos, and compare details with project plans. By following this process, concrete companies reduce estimating errors, protect margins, and improve efficiency. Clients benefit from transparent, accurate proposals. Teams gain accountability with documented assessments. With this workflow in place, concrete contractors can strengthen professionalism, improve efficiency, and deliver projects more reliably while basing estimates on real-world conditions.
