General Contractors
Concrete subcontracting for general contractors on commercial new construction, tenant improvements, and large-scale development projects.
Who is a reliable concrete subcontractor for Kansas City GCs?
Ford Concrete Construction is a self-perform concrete and sitework subcontractor for general contractors across the Kansas City metro — footings, slabs, paving, curbs, and storm structures under one number. We have bid and built alongside GCs on projects like the Amazon facility in Riverside and the Nortian food-grade plant in Springfield, held to a 4.9-star rating across 29 reviews and more than a decade. What an estimator wants from a concrete sub is a clean number, a schedule that holds, and no gap between the sitework and the flatwork — that is exactly the scope we own.
Because we self-perform the ground work through the finish flatwork, the subgrade and the slab that sits on it stay under one point of accountability. No coordination gap between an excavation sub and a flatwork sub, and no finger-pointing when a slab cracks over fill somebody else placed.
What scope does Ford self-perform, by CSI division?
Estimators build bid packages by division, so here is where we fit in CSI MasterFormat terms and where each piece lands in the schedule. We carry it from earthwork through site finishes without handing off the interfaces that usually cause problems:
| CSI division | Scope Ford self-performs | Typical schedule slot |
|---|---|---|
| 31 20 00 Earthwork | Cut/fill, grading, compaction to spec | After stripping, before foundations |
| 31 23 16 Excavation | Footing and trench excavation | With foundation layout |
| 03 30 00 Cast-in-place concrete | Spread footings, grade beams, walls, slab-on-ground | Foundations through superstructure |
| 32 13 13 Concrete paving | Drives, parking, dumpster and equipment pads | After building dry-in |
| 32 16 00 Curbs & walks | Curb, gutter, sidewalk, ADA ramps | Site finishes |
| 33 40 00 Storm drainage | Trenching, inlets, pipe to structure | With sitework |
The deep detail on each lands on its own page — commercial foundations, warehouse and industrial floors, parking lots, sitework, and storm drainage. For a full picture of the self-perform package, preconstruction chain, and prequalification, see our commercial concrete for general contractors page.
How does a concrete sub keep your schedule from slipping?
Concrete sits on the critical path more often than any other site trade — a late foundation pushes steel, and a late slab pushes every interior finish behind it. We hold the date by pulling load-transfer dowels, grade beams, and slab pours in the right sequence, coordinating with the steel and MEP undergrounds before we form, and cylinder-testing structural pours so nobody waits on a strength question. On the industrial floor side that includes FF/FL flatness targets verified before you set racking.
Building for a specific end user? Our retail, restaurant, and municipal pages show how the scope shifts by project type. Send the bid set and we will return a scoped, division-mapped number.
Can you meet prequalification and food-grade or industrial specs?
We are licensed, insured, and prequalify on commercial work. On the Nortian food-grade protein facility we built to the tighter tolerances that kind of plant demands, and on distribution work we hit the slab-on-ground flatness and joint-fill specs automated equipment needs. Whether the package calls for ACI 330 rigid pavement outside or a hard-troweled interior floor, we build to the governing standard and document it.
Long-term, GCs keep us on maintenance and tenant-improvement work through overlays and resurfacing and structural repair, which extends a facility’s existing slabs without a full tear-out. One sub for new construction, TI, and the repairs that follow.
Why Choose Ford Concrete

One sub carries divisions 31 through 33 — grading, footings, slab, paving, curbs, and storm structures — so there is no gap between the sitework and the flatwork on your schedule.
Built for Named GCs
We poured alongside GCs on the Amazon facility in Riverside and the Nortian food-grade plant in Springfield — references, not adjectives.
Critical-Path Discipline
Footings, grade beams, and slabs sequenced to hold the date, undergrounds coordinated before we form, and structural pours cylinder-tested so nobody waits on a strength question.
Spec and Prequal Ready
Licensed, insured, and prequalifiable, building to ACI 330 paving, FF/FL floor flatness, and food-grade tolerances with documentation to match.
