Every concrete pro has been burned by this

🕳️

You excavate and find soft soil, high water table, or buried utilities. The base prep goes from straightforward to a full-scale engineering problem with extra gravel and rebar.

🎨

Client upgrades from plain gray broom finish to stamped, colored, or exposed aggregate after the forms are set. Different mix design, different labor, completely different price.

📏

The driveway was 400 square feet. Now they want the walkway, side yard, and back patio done too. 'Since you're already here with the truck and crew...'

Change orders concrete crews deal with on every pour

Sub-Base & Soil Issues

$1,000 - $5,000

Soft soil requiring extra gravel, geotextile fabric, or additional rebar reinforcement. Poor drainage that needs French drains or re-grading before you can pour a slab.

Finish Upgrades

$1,500 - $7,000

Client switches from broom finish to stamped, acid-stained, or exposed aggregate. Each finish requires different tools, materials, timing, and a higher skill level on the crew.

Additional Square Footage

$800 - $4,500

Scope grows to include walkways, patios, retaining curbs, apron extensions, or a parking pad. Every extra yard of concrete adds material, labor, and finishing time.

Demo & Removal of Existing

$1,000 - $4,000

Old concrete needs to be broken out and hauled before new work can begin. Sawcutting, jackhammering, loading, and dump fees weren't in the new-pour bid.

Reinforcement Additions

$500 - $3,000

Client wants fiber mesh, rebar grid, or post-tension cables for additional strength. Each reinforcement method adds material cost and changes the pour timeline.

Drainage & Slope Corrections

$800 - $3,500

Grade needs to be adjusted so water flows away from the foundation. Channel drains, swales, or catch basins need to be integrated into the concrete work.
