If you are like most people, you probably select skilled trade companies based on which one pops up at the top of a Google search. Some people read reviews, and still, others ask for advice from associates. Here’s some additional advice on how to pick a concrete cutting and coring company. 



How to Select a Concrete Cutting and Coring Company



Here are some additional ways to select a concrete cutting company besides how high it ranks on Google.



Look for longevity in the business.



You have one chance to do a job right when you work in the concrete-cutting industry. Such cuts cannot be undone – and a project’s structural integrity can be at risk if the job is done incorrectly. But more importantly, the occupants and other crews can be put at risk if the job is not done right.For that reason, try to find concrete cutters with experience 

 

KC Coring and Cutting crews have served the Kansas City Metro for over four decades. The company has been chosen to work on some of Kansas City’s largest construction and public works projects, including the KC Streetcar Project.



Look for a company that offers a wide range of services. 



People approach the same problem in different ways, and sometimes you need to change course direction in the middle of the journey. For that reason, selecting a concrete cutting company that offers many related services is a good idea. That way, you know they will have the proper equipment and skills if you need to pivot in the middle of a project. 

 

KC Coring and Cutting does core drilling and slab, wall, hand, chain, and wire sawing – as well as concrete shot blasting and other similar services. 



Select a company with a proven safety record.



Every company in the industry says that they care about safety. But there are some things to look out for to determine the validity of that statement.

 

For example, ask about the company’s EMR rating. EMR stands for Experience Modification Rating. (It may also be called an experience modifier or mod rate.) It’s a rating system that insurance companies use to set workers’ compensation premiums. (Read this to learn more about the EMR rating system.)

KC Coring and Cutting has a .78 EMR rating. The company also has a full-time Safety Director and Director of Risk Control Services. The team meets all the Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards. 



Read reviews and testimonials.



It’s sometimes difficult to know whether to trust online reviews. Read them carefully. If several different reviewers repeat the same complaint – and the company doesn’t offer a valid response – you may want to avoid the company. However, if the company has mostly positive reviews with a few suspicious negative reviews that the company responds to positively, you probably have found a good choice.

 




KC Coring and Cutting has a 4.8 approval rating on Google – and 80 reviews.
