Commercial Concrete for General Contractors — Kansas City Metro
Ford self-performs sitework, foundations, and flatwork as one accountable package — the same crew that poured 50,000+ sq ft for Amazon in Riverside bids your project. One mobilization, MO and KS.
One Accountable Concrete Package — Dirt to Finished Pour
For the Estimator
Ford Concrete is a biddable package for general contractors across the Kansas City metro: we self-perform the complete concrete scope — sitework, foundations, and flatwork — with our own crews, so a single mobilization covers the dirt through the finished pour. Bonded, insured, and licensed in Missouri and Kansas.
Most concrete on a commercial job gets split across three subs — one digs, one forms the foundation, one pours the flatwork. Every seam between them is a mobilization cost, a schedule dependency, and a place for accountability to fall through. Ford removes those seams. The crew that proof-rolls the subgrade is the crew that forms the footing and finishes the slab, from excavation and grading through footings and foundation walls to the finished flatwork and structural concrete.
What We Bid
Complete foundations-and-flatwork packages, with the sitework underneath. Every element below is self-performed and links to the page that covers it in full.
Footings & Grade Beams
Isolated and continuous footings, grade beams on drilled piers, and stem walls formed and poured to the structural drawings.
See spread footings and grade beams →
Foundation Walls & Elevator Pits
Poured-in-place walls with snap-tie forming, waterproofing, and monolithic elevator-pit construction tested before backfill.
See foundation walls and elevator pits →
Warehouse & Industrial Floors
Slab-on-grade and high-tolerance interior floors placed to the flatness the spec calls for — random-traffic or defined-movement.
See warehouse and industrial floors →
Parking Lots & Site Paving
Commercial-grade paving with proper jointing, ADA slopes, and drainage designed for Kansas City storm patterns.
See commercial parking lots →
Curbs & Gutters
Cast-in-place and extruded curb, gutter, and valley sections that keep water moving away from pavement and foundations.
See curbs and gutters →
ADA Ramps & Compliance
Ramps, landings, and detectable-warning surfaces built to current slope and dimension requirements the first time.
See ADA ramps →
Loading-Dock Pits & Equipment Pads
Dock pits, machine foundations, and equipment pads with embedded conduit and anchor-bolt templates set to engineered positions.

Sitework & Excavation
Excavation to bearing, grading, structural fill, and proof-rolled subgrade — the same crew that forms and pours on top of it.

Capacity & Crews
Ford self-performs — no subs. Our own crews run the sitework, foundations, and flatwork, so the schedule stays under one roof and a single mobilization carries the job from excavation to finished pour. That is how we placed 50,000+ square feet of floor for Amazon in Riverside: one crew, one plan, one point of accountability.
- ▶Self-performed crews for sitework, foundations, and flatwork — no subcontracted concrete
- ▶Placement planned to your pour dates with a pump and truck plan, then documented daily
- ▶Floors placed to the specified FF/FL, random-traffic or defined-movement
- ▶Bonded and insured, licensed across Missouri and Kansas
For a project that calls for specific placement rates, crew counts, or equipment, Aaron will walk your schedule and confirm the plan directly — (816) 721-1699.
How We Bid & Coordinate
The preconstruction chain a GC can hand a project to and trust. Ten documented steps from award to closeout — each one a real deliverable, not a promise.
Scope Letter
A written scope that states exactly what is in and out of Ford's number — no allowances hiding gaps.
Addenda Log
Every addendum tracked and priced against the base bid, so nothing changes silently before the pour.
Mix-Design & Product-Data Register
Each mix design and product data sheet submitted and logged against the specification for approval.
Rebar & Shop-Drawing Coordination
Reinforcing shop drawings reviewed against the structural set — bar size, spacing, and lap lengths confirmed.
Embed & Blockout Matrix
Anchor bolts, sleeves, embeds, and blockouts mapped and verified against mechanical and electrical drawings before forming.
Pour Sequence & Pump/Truck Plan
Placement order, pump position, and truck timing planned so large pours run continuously without cold joints.
Pre-Pour Inspection
Subgrade, forms, rebar, and embeds signed off — by the special inspector where required — before any concrete is placed.
Testing & Daily Documentation
Slump, air, and temperature checks, test cylinders, and daily field reports captured as the work happens.
As-Built Survey
Finished elevations and embed locations documented so the record matches what was built.
Closeout
The closeout documentation package — tickets, test results, and records — handed over at the end of the job.
The pre-pour inspection and mix design submittals sit in the middle of that chain for a reason — nothing is placed until the subgrade, rebar, and embeds are signed off and the mix is approved against the spec.
Pour Proof
We Document the Pour — Not Just the Finished Slab
A finished slab looks the same whether it was placed right or not. The documentation is where the difference lives — and it is what a GC needs to close out the job.
Pre-Pour Readiness
Subgrade, forms, rebar, and embeds checked and signed off before the trucks arrive.
Batch Tickets
Every load's mix design and delivery documented against the approved submittal.
Field Testing
Slump, air, and temperature with test cylinders cast where the spec requires them.
FF/FL Where Specified
Floor flatness and levelness measured and reported on floors that carry a defined-movement or overall-flatness spec.
Curing & Joint Records
Curing method, timing, and saw-cut joint layout logged as part of the file.
Closeout File
Tickets, test results, and records assembled into the closeout documentation package.
The documentation scales with the project — a small pad gets the readiness check and batch tickets; a spec warehouse floor gets the full testing, FF/FL reporting, and closeout documentation package. We do not imply every job gets every test; we run what the spec calls for and record it.

General Contractor FAQs
Can you bid a complete foundations + flatwork package?
Yes. Ford self-performs the full concrete sequence — sitework, foundations, and flatwork — as one biddable package. That means a single mobilization, one schedule, and one contract instead of three subs to coordinate. Send the structural drawings, civil plan, and geotech report and we return a scoped bid, not a per-square-foot guess.
What daily placement can you document?
We build a pour sequence and pump/truck plan to your pour dates and document placement as it happens, load by load. The Amazon warehouse floor in Riverside was 50,000+ square feet placed and finished by our own crew — the scale most residential contractors turn away. For your project, daily placement is planned to the schedule and captured in the daily field reports rather than promised as a single headline number.
Who owns subgrade acceptance, embeds, and anchor templates?
Ford does. Our crew proof-rolls and accepts the subgrade before forming, sets the embed and anchor-bolt template to the structural drawings, and verifies every sleeve, conduit, and embed against the mechanical and electrical drawings at the pre-pour inspection. Because the same crew handles sitework through slab, there is no gap where subgrade acceptance falls between two contractors.
Random-traffic or defined-movement floors — which do you place?
Both, to the flatness the specification requires. Random-traffic floors follow an overall FF/FL profile under ACI 302; defined-movement (VNA) floors carry tighter, directional FF/FL numbers and need laser-guided screeding and a disciplined joint layout to hit them. We place warehouse and industrial floors to the numbers the spec calls for and report the results.
How do you handle cold-weather pours?
We pour year-round with cold-weather protection per ACI 306 — accelerating admixtures, insulated blankets, ground thawing, and temperature monitoring until the concrete reaches the required strength before it sees freezing. Interior floors and foundations inside enclosed buildings are largely weather-independent, which is why winter is a good window to get structural work done ahead of the spring surge.
