Structural Concrete Coordination | Kairos Foundation Group

Coordinated Trade

Structural concrete, scoped and coordinated.

As prime contractor, Kairos scopes grade beams, pier caps, and structural slabs against the foundation design and subcontracts the pour to its concrete execution partner.

How this works

Kairos scopes it. The execution partner places it.

Structural concrete doesn’t appear in isolation — it bears directly on the drilled piers, caissons, or helical piles beneath it. Kairos holds the geotechnical and foundation-design relationship, so the concrete scope gets written against the same data and the same engineering, not handed off cold to a separate contractor.

From there, a concrete execution partner performs the forming, reinforcement placement, pumping, and pour. Kairos remains the client’s single point of contact, coordinating schedule and scope between the foundation work and the concrete trade so nothing falls into the gap between the two.

What’s in scope

The concrete elements Kairos coordinates.

Kairos writes the scope for these elements and coordinates their execution; the partner performs the placement.

01

Grade beams

Reinforced beams tying the foundation system together at grade, sized to the pier or pile layout beneath them.

02

Pier caps

Load-transfer elements connecting a column or wall load down onto a drilled pier or pile.

03

Structural slabs

Slabs and elevated decks bearing on the deep foundation system rather than directly on grade.

04

Retaining structures

Structural concrete tied into slope or retaining wall stabilization scopes where the engineering calls for it.

What the client gets

One scope owner, not two disconnected contracts.

Splitting foundation and concrete into two separately contracted, separately scheduled trades is where handoff gaps happen — a grade beam poured to the wrong elevation, a pier cap sized off outdated drawings, a pour scheduled before the piles it bears on are verified.

  • One party accountable for how the concrete scope ties to the foundation design beneath it
  • Concrete scheduling coordinated against pile or pier installation and verification, not set independently
  • A single point of contact for questions, changes, and scope decisions across both trades
  • Slab and flatwork drawings can still be bid on their own, separate from a foundation package, if that’s what the project needs
FAQ

Structural concrete, answered directly.

Does Kairos perform structural concrete work itself?

No. As prime contractor, Kairos scopes the work — grade beams, pier caps, and structural slabs tied to the foundation design — and subcontracts execution to its concrete execution partner.

Who pours the concrete?

The concrete execution partner performs the forming, placement, and finishing. Kairos holds the scope, ties it to the foundation design and geotechnical report, and stays the single point of contact for the client throughout.

Can I get a bid for slab and flatwork separate from foundation work?

Yes. Slab and flatwork drawings can be submitted for a bid alongside a foundation package or on their own, and Kairos will scope and coordinate accordingly.

Why coordinate concrete through Kairos instead of contracting it separately?

Grade beams, pier caps, and slabs bear directly on the foundation system beneath them. Keeping the same team that scoped the foundation responsible for defining the concrete scope avoids gaps between trades at the handoff point.

Have foundation and concrete scope to coordinate?

Send your drawings, foundation package, or flatwork plans and Kairos will write the scope and coordinate the execution partner.
