What is not part of concrete & asphalt demolition, sawcutting & coring
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- Any job where labor and materials together reach $1,000 or more. That work goes to a licensed contractor, and demolition and cutting is project work for one.
- New concrete, paving and patching after the cut: ask for concrete or hardscape work as its own job.
- Plumbing, drain and electrical work in the trench: that is a licensed plumber or electrician.
- Structural changes such as cutting a load-bearing wall or underpinning a foundation, which call for an engineer and usually a permit.
- Locating utilities beyond a scan of the slab. Contact the utility locating service for buried lines in the yard.
- Hazardous material testing or removal, such as asbestos in old flooring or paving.

Before you book concrete & asphalt demolition, sawcutting & coring
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Find the plans
Gather any plans, permits or past inspection reports that show slab thickness, steel and utility routes. They save time and help your pro avoid hitting something expensive.
Mark what you want kept
Walk the area and tell your pro what must stay, such as a section of slab, a wall, a tree or a fence. Photograph it so they can plan clean cut lines.
Learn what is buried
Think about where pipes, wires and gas lines run, and where past repairs were. Share the locations, and ask your pro how they will scan before cutting.
Plan for dust and noise
Warn neighbors, protect cars and plants and move belongings away from the work. Indoors, tell the pro about air handling, sensitive equipment and sleeping hours.
Decide on the next step
Know what will go in after the cut: a new slab, drain, pavers or a trench for pipe. The shape of the edges and base depends on it.
Confirm haul-away and parking
Check that the bid includes hauling the broken concrete and where trucks and dumpsters can sit. Tell the pro about driveway weight limits, gates and permit parking.
