Concrete subcontractor jobs near you
Concrete is one of the first trades on any build, so builders post footings, foundations and flatwork well ahead of the schedule. Listings include plans and square footage so you can price before the walkthrough.
The concrete work contractors post
- Footings and foundation walls for new homes
- Basement and garage slabs
- Driveways, walks and patios
- Steps, stoops and porches
- Light commercial slabs and sidewalks
Every project is posted by a builder or general contractor we've reviewed, with the town and ZIP code, bid due date and files. You see how far each job is from your shop.
How it works
- Set up your profile. Pick concrete and any other trades you do, your home ZIP code and how far you'll travel.
- Find and watch projects. Open the plans and photos, ask the contractor questions, and watch the ones you're pricing.
- Send your bid. Your price, earliest start date and notes, from your phone or computer. Only that contractor sees it.
No lead fees and no cut of the job. You agree on the contract and payment directly with the contractor.
Pricing concrete work from a listing
What contractors compare, and where concrete bids usually differ.
Check the listing for
- Plans with dimensions, wall heights and thickness
- Rebar, mesh or fiber as specified
- Site access for the truck and pump
- Who does excavation, base and compaction
- Finish: broom, smooth, stamped or exposed
How it's usually priced
Usually by the square foot for flatwork and by the linear foot or cubic yard for footings and walls, with pumping, finishes and winter protection priced separately.
Contractors compare bids side by side, so naming your units and what's included makes yours easy to pick.
Say what's in or out
- Pump truck and access
- Base stone and compaction
- Cold-weather blankets and heaters
- Saw cuts, sealer and backfill
Licenses and insurance for concrete subcontractors
Concrete is often covered by a general or specialty contractor license where one is required, and permits and inspections are common for foundations. Contractors usually ask for liability insurance and workers' comp.
On Contracting Bridge you can add your certificate of insurance and license to earn the Insured and Licensed badges, which show on every bid. Some projects require them. You can still see those projects and get your badges in place before you bid.
This is general information, not legal advice. Requirements change by state and city, so check with your state's licensing board and your insurance agent. What insurance subcontractors need
Questions from concrete subcontractors
Do builders post foundations for whole subdivisions?
Some do, either one package per lot or a multi-lot package. Ask the builder about the pour schedule so you can plan your crews.
How should I handle winter pours?
Price cold-weather protection as its own line or allowance and say when it applies. That keeps your bid comparable with bids that left it out.
Is it really free?
Yes. Posting, bidding, messaging and reviews are free while we launch, with no limits. General contractors will stay free. When a Pro plan for trades arrives, Founding Members get a lower price, and the free plan stays.
Where does Contracting Bridge work?
Anywhere in the United States. Projects are matched by distance from each trade's home ZIP code, so you'll see more activity as more companies join near you.
Do I pay to bid on an invitation?
No, and you never will. When a contractor invites you to bid, seeing the project and bidding on it is free on every plan.
