Concrete flatwork refers to a flat surface that is made of concrete. It commonly takes the shape of sidewalks, patios, and parking lots, but it can be used for a wide number of purposes. Concrete flatwork makes up the foundation of the majority of our buildings, both residential and commercial.  

Concrete flatwork is made by pouring concrete onto the middle of a surface that already has a built-in frame or lining. Some of the most common platforms that concrete flatwork is used for include:

• Driveways
• Patios and decks
• Gutters
• Sidewalks
• Curbs
• Sidewalks
• Ramps

As a general rule, if it’s flat, and it involves concrete, it’s concrete flatwork!

In order to create concrete flatwork, there need to be three elements present:

• Cement
• Water
• Aggregate (this can be sand, gravel, or rock)

These elements will be mixed together and poured within a sub base and frame. This base strengthens the concrete and further prevents cracks from appearing. The concrete flatwork will be installed in slabs.

As concrete flatwork is an essential part of most construction projects, so it makes sense that its costs have to be carefully accounted for. In general, the cost of concrete flatwork will be anywhere between $5.00 to $7.00 per square foot, but this price may vary depending on your particular project’s factors.

Concrete flatwork is an essential part of most construction projects, and they are relied upon for the following quantities:

• Durability
• Easy maintenance
• Attractiveness (increases home value)
• Multi-purpose use

Although providing functional horizontal slabs is the biggest purpose of concrete flatworks, there are other miscellaneous purposes for concrete flatworks. These include:

This type of concrete flatwork is used to fill in gaps or cracks in existing concrete. It is possible to add colour to the mix of concrete to make sure that your existing concrete materials could be matched for concrete flatwork repair.

Although concrete is a building material that comes with a great degree of longevity, it still has a lifespan. When concrete begins to crack as it ages, it is possible to fill it in using concrete flatwork.
