01 · Turn-key scope
Formed, poured, finished. One contractor.
The company describes its commercial work as turn-key: supply, form, reinforce, pour, finish. On a commercial job that sequence is the whole value, because every handoff between trades is a place where a schedule slips and responsibility gets ambiguous.
It also means the specification is held by the same people who pour to it. Reinforcement that was designed a certain way gets placed that way, and if something on site does not match the drawing, the conversation happens before the truck arrives rather than after the slab is down.
We work with design/build general contractors on demanding schedules, which is a polite way of saying we are used to being one trade inside a sequence that cannot move.

Commercial concrete services
The scope we take on as a commercial concrete contractor, grouped by what it does on a site. Every item is supplied, formed, reinforced, poured and finished by the same contractor, and priced to the drawings where a package carries them.
Flatwork
Slabs & flatwork
The core of most commercial packages — the horizontal concrete a site runs on.
- Slabs on grade
- Monolithic slabs
- Concrete floors on metal decks
- Sidewalks & hardscapes
Structural
Footings & foundations
Where the concrete is holding something up rather than being walked on.
- Footings & foundations
- Site & building retaining walls
- Cast-in-place staircases
- Metal-pan staircase treads
Paving
Heavy-duty paving
Built for load rather than for cars — yards, approaches and service areas that take truck traffic.
- Service yards
- Truck approaches & aprons
- Heavy-duty service areas
Water
Stormwater & culverts
Structures that carry or hold water, and move it off a working site properly.
- Box culverts
- Flumes & cisterns
- Stormwater management structures
Buildings
Pre-engineered buildings
Slabs and foundations poured to the building supplier's spec, not to a generic detail.
- Slabs to a supplied building spec
- Foundations & anchor-bolt setting
Finishes
Floor coatings
Epoxy, flake and metallic systems for shop, warehouse and showroom floors.
- Epoxy systems
- Flake systems
- Metallic systems
03 · Industrial & structural
Industrial & structural concrete
Where the concrete is holding something up, or taking a load a parking lot never sees.
The structural side of a package — footings and foundations, retaining walls that hold a site rather than a flower bed, floors poured on metal decks in steel-framed buildings, staircases cast in place or poured into metal pans — is built to the engineer's drawings, and the drawings govern thickness, reinforcement, mix and tolerance. Our published standard of four inches with perimeter steel is the floor when nothing stricter is specified, not the ceiling.
Industrial flatwork is the same trade with a heavier brief: slabs on grade and heavy-duty paving for service yards and truck approaches, built for load rather than for cars, and stormwater structures sized to move water off a working site. Send the loads and the drawings and we price to them.
04 · Capability
What we are set up to build.
The list below is the company's own published commercial capability. If your package includes something not on it, ask — the honest answer is quicker than a guess.
| Capability | Notes |
|---|---|
| Footings & foundations | The structural start of most packages |
| Site & building retaining walls | Both landscape-scale and structural |
| Slabs on grade | The core of most commercial flatwork packages |
| Concrete floors on metal decks | Elevated floors in steel-framed structures |
| Heavy-duty paving | Yards, approaches and service areas built for load, not for cars |
| Metal-pan staircase treads | Poured into steel stair assemblies |
| Cast-in-place staircases | Formed and poured in position |
| Sidewalks & hardscapes | The pedestrian side of a commercial site |
| Box culverts, flumes & cisterns | Water-carrying and water-holding structures |
| Stormwater management | Structures that move water off a site properly |
| Pre-engineered buildings | Slabs and foundations to a supplied building spec |
| Monolithic slabs | Described by the company as a slab built on-grade with footings |
05 · Flatwork specification
Their standard, and where it moves.
One number is worth stating plainly, with its source.
Carolina Custom Concrete publishes its flatwork as typically built and poured at four inches thick with steel reinforcement around the perimeter, customizable to spec. That is the company's own stated standard, not a general rule of the trade, and the operative word is customizable — on a commercial job the specification comes from the drawings and the engineer, and the standard is what we build to when nothing stricter is specified.
Where a package carries its own thickness, reinforcement schedule, mix design or finish tolerance, that governs. Send the drawings and we will price to them.
06 · Working with general contractors
One trade inside somebody else's program.
Most of our commercial work arrives through a GC rather than an owner, and the job is as much about sequence as about concrete.
Design/build coordination means the concrete package is being priced while the design is still moving, so what matters is being clear about what has been allowed for and what has not. We would rather flag an assumption at tender than discover it at pour.
For property managers and owners without a GC, we can take the concrete scope directly — repairs to existing commercial flatwork, approach and apron work, and pad or slab additions are all common. Repair work on commercial sites follows the same assessment as residential: has it moved, or does it just look bad.
07 · Straight answers
Commercial questions.
The ones that come up at tender rather than on site.
Do you work directly for owners, or only through a general contractor?
Both. Most commercial work reaches us through a GC as part of a wider program, but we take concrete scope directly from owners and property managers as well — approach and apron work, pad additions and repairs to existing commercial flatwork are all common.
Can you work to our engineer's specification?
Yes, and on a commercial package that is the normal case. Where the drawings carry a thickness, a reinforcement schedule, a mix design or a finish tolerance, that governs. Send them and we price to them.
What is your standard flatwork build when nothing stricter is specified?
The company publishes its flatwork as typically built and poured at four inches thick with steel reinforcement around the perimeter, customizable to spec. That is our stated standard, not a rule of the trade, and it is what we build to in the absence of a tighter specification.
Can you hold a fixed program date?
Scheduling is agreed per package rather than promised in general. We work with design/build GCs on demanding programs, and the useful thing at tender is being explicit about what has been allowed for — we would rather flag an assumption then than discover it at pour.
Do you handle stormwater structures and culverts?
Yes. Box culverts, flumes, cisterns and stormwater management structures are published capability, alongside footings, slabs on grade, metal-deck floors and heavy-duty paving.
How far do you travel for commercial work?
The four counties around Lake Norman — Mecklenburg, Iredell, Lincoln and Cabarrus — which covers north Charlotte through Statesville. Ask about anything beyond that; the answer depends on the package.
