Commercial Concrete Services

Commercial Concrete Expertise

Commercial concrete projects require different expertise than residential work. Larger scale, stricter codes, tighter timelines, and coordination with other trades all come into play. At WBC Wilkes-Barre Concrete, we bring the experience and equipment needed to handle commercial projects successfully.

We work with business owners, property managers, general contractors, and municipalities throughout Wilkes-Barre and surrounding areas. Our portfolio includes retail locations, office buildings, warehouses, municipal facilities, and more. We understand the unique demands of commercial work and deliver results that meet professional standards.

Commercial concrete must handle heavy use, meet accessibility requirements, and often needs specific finishes or structural capabilities. We work from engineered plans, coordinate inspections, and ensure code compliance. Your commercial project gets the same attention to quality as our residential work, just scaled up to meet commercial requirements.

Commercial Services We Provide

Our commercial concrete services cover a wide range of applications. Whatever your business needs for concrete work, we have the capability to deliver.

Parking areas are a major part of our commercial work. From small business parking to large lots, we install concrete that handles daily vehicle traffic and heavy loads. Proper base preparation and adequate thickness are critical for parking areas. We design concrete thickness based on expected loads and traffic patterns.

Building foundations for commercial structures require engineering and careful execution. We work from structural drawings, coordinate with inspectors, and ensure foundations meet all code requirements. Whether you need a simple slab for a storage building or a complex foundation for a multi-story structure, we have the expertise to get it done right.

Working With Your Project Team

Commercial projects involve coordination with many parties. General contractors, architects, engineers, building officials, and property owners all have roles. We integrate smoothly into your project team and communicate effectively to keep things moving.

We review plans early in the process to identify any issues before work begins. Questions about site conditions, concrete specifications, or construction details are addressed upfront. This proactive approach prevents surprises and delays during construction.

Scheduling is critical for commercial work. Delays cost money and disrupt other trades. We commit to realistic schedules and meet our deadlines. Our crews arrive on time, work efficiently, and complete projects as promised. If weather or unforeseen conditions affect timing, we communicate immediately and adjust plans to minimize impact.

We handle all necessary permits and inspections. Building officials need to inspect foundation work, and we coordinate those inspections to keep your project on schedule. Documentation is provided as needed for your records and closeout requirements.

Meeting Commercial Standards and Codes

Commercial concrete work must meet stricter standards than residential. Building codes specify concrete strength, reinforcement, and construction methods. Accessibility requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act affect walkways, ramps, and parking areas. We know these codes and ensure compliance.

Concrete mix designs are specified for commercial work. Compressive strength requirements vary based on application. We use concrete that meets or exceeds specified strengths. Quality control during placement ensures proper consolidation and finishing. Samples may be taken for testing to document concrete strength.

ADA compliance is essential for public-facing businesses. Parking spaces must be properly sized and marked. Accessible routes need appropriate slope and width. Ramps require specific slope ratios and landings. We understand accessibility requirements and build to these standards. Your facility will pass inspections and serve all customers.

Safety on commercial job sites is non-negotiable. Our crews follow OSHA guidelines and maintain safe work areas. Proper barriers protect the public from construction zones. Clean worksites prevent accidents and maintain professional appearance. We carry appropriate insurance coverage for commercial projects.

Minimizing Business Disruption

We understand that concrete work can disrupt business operations. Parking areas need to remain accessible. Deliveries must continue. Customers need access to your facility. We plan projects to minimize these impacts.

Phased construction allows portions of parking or access areas to remain open while we work on others. We can schedule work during off-hours or slower business periods if that helps. Temporary access routes keep your business functioning during construction.

Clear communication with your staff and customers prevents confusion. We use proper signage to direct traffic around work zones. Barriers keep people safe while allowing maximum access to operating areas. Our goal is completing quality work with minimal disruption to your business.

Cleanup happens throughout the project, not just at the end. We keep work areas organized and remove debris regularly. When work is complete, your property is left clean and ready for use. Just like our residential driveway work, we take pride in leaving every job site better than we found it.
