Concrete Cutting & Core Drilling
Precise cutting and coring for the jobs where the structure has to stay standing around the work — a doorway into an existing wall, penetrations for new services, a section of slab out without disturbing the rest of the floor.
What the job covers
- Wall sawing for openings, doorways and louvres
- Slab sawing and sections removed to line
- Core drilling for plumbing, electrical and mechanical penetrations
- Cutting in occupied and finished spaces
- Slurry and dust control
- Cut material removed and hauled
What affects the quote
- Thickness of the concrete and how heavily it is reinforced
- Whether the element is structural, which may require engineering sign-off
- Number, size and position of cores
- Access to both faces of the wall or slab
- Working in a finished or occupied space, which raises the protection required
Every job is quoted after we understand the site. Photographs of what needs to come down, and of how a machine would reach it, get you an accurate number faster than a description will.
Common questions
Before you call
Can you cut an opening in a load-bearing wall?
Cutting a structural element is normally an engineered detail — shoring and a specified opening — rather than something decided on site. Have the drawing or the engineer's detail available when you call.
How much mess does it make?
Wet cutting produces slurry, which is controlled and cleaned up. In a finished space that containment is part of the job and worth raising when you get the quote.
