Commercial Concrete Services
Professional commercial concrete work for businesses, property managers, and developers throughout the Tempe metro area.
Concrete Solutions for Commercial Properties
Commercial concrete projects have different demands than residential work. Higher traffic volumes, heavier loads, stricter building codes, and tighter schedules all require a contractor with the experience, equipment, and crew size to deliver quality results on time. Business owners and property managers cannot afford delays, sloppy work, or concrete that deteriorates prematurely under commercial use.

What Makes Commercial Concrete Different
Commercial concrete is not just residential concrete on a larger scale. It requires different engineering, materials, and construction methods to handle the demands of commercial use. Understanding these differences is what separates a capable commercial contractor from one that will leave you with premature failures.
Thickness and Reinforcement
Commercial slabs are typically thicker than residential concrete and use heavier reinforcement. Parking lots that carry vehicles need minimum 5-inch slabs with welded wire or rebar reinforcement. Areas that handle delivery trucks, dumpster trucks, or heavy equipment may require 6 to 8 inches or more. Edges and transitions where loads change direction or concentrate get thickened sections to handle the additional stress. We design each section based on its specific load requirements rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Drainage and Grading
Commercial properties must manage stormwater according to municipal codes. This means proper slopes, drainage channels, catch basins, and connections to the storm sewer system. Poor drainage on a commercial property creates ponding that accelerates concrete deterioration, creates slip hazards for customers, and can result in code violations. We engineer our grading plans to move water efficiently off the concrete surfaces and into the property's drainage infrastructure.
Code Compliance and Inspections
Commercial concrete work requires permits, engineering approval, and inspections at multiple stages. The City of Tempe and Maricopa County have specific requirements for commercial concrete including minimum thicknesses, reinforcement specifications, ADA compliance, and stormwater management. We manage the permitting process and coordinate inspections so your project stays on schedule and passes every inspection the first time.
Our familiarity with local code requirements means fewer surprises and change orders during your project. We know what the inspectors look for and we build to meet those standards from the start.
Minimizing Disruption to Your Business
We understand that concrete work on a commercial property directly affects your business operations. Customers need to access your building. Deliveries need to reach your loading dock. Employees need parking. Every day of disruption costs you money. That is why we plan commercial projects carefully to minimize the impact on your daily operations.
For parking lot projects, we typically work in phases, completing one section at a time while the remaining areas stay open for use. We set up clear signage and temporary barriers that direct traffic around the work zone safely. If the project requires overnight or weekend work to avoid peak business hours, we can accommodate that schedule. Our goal is to get the work done right without driving away your customers or disrupting your team.
Coordination with Other Trades
Commercial projects often involve coordination with other contractors including plumbers, electricians, landscapers, and paving companies. We work well with other trades and communicate proactively about scheduling, access needs, and sequencing. If you have a general contractor managing the project, we integrate seamlessly into their schedule. If you are managing the project directly, we help coordinate the concrete work with other activities to keep everything on track.
From the initial site meeting through final inspection, we keep you informed about progress, schedule changes, and anything else that affects your business. Clear communication is the foundation of a successful commercial project, and it is something we prioritize on every job.
