In the construction industry, the overall efficiency of a project often comes down to how well different trades and their scopes of work are coordinated.
When it comes to slab-on-grade trenching and cutting, the common model of hiring separate scanning and cutting contractors often introduces unnecessary friction, by having to reach out to separate companies.
At Xradar, we’ve standardized a bundled approach that integrates our concrete scanning, or sub-slab utility locating with precision concrete cutting. By managing both in a single coordinated workflow, we make it much easier for General Contractors to manage projects, whilst also ensuring that the cutting process is clean, efficient, and predictable.
Xradar can be your one-stop-shop for scanning and cutting – in this article we will make the case for why choosing a single provider for scanning and cutting makes sense for your project.
A Coordinated Transition
The most critical moment of any cutting job is the smooth transition from locating embedded objects to dropping the blade. Coordinating the scanning and cutting through one central team ensures a seamless transition, helping to keep your timelines on track.
Our cutting teams are specifically trained through Xradar Academy to interpret our copyrighted scan markings. This internal standard removes any chance of mis-interpretation on-site. The cutters arrive with full confidence in the layout, allowing them to work faster and with much higher precision.
The Administrative Advantage
Managing multiple sub-trades for a single trench is an administrative hassle that doesn’t add value to your project. By bundling these services, we aim to simplify your job:
- One Purchase Order: Track expenses against your project cost code with half the admin
- Single Point of Contact: One phone number, one email address, one team. A single call handles the scheduling for both the scanning and the cutting phases.
- One Accurate Estimate: By working with a single provider, you receive a clear, comprehensive, and more concise scope of work and estimate before the job begins, streamlining the project.
- One Invoice: We consolidate the entire process into a single invoice, reducing the time your team spends on project accounting.
