The work, up close

This is what the job actually looks like

Real diamond cutting and coring — tracks, slurry, sparks off rebar, and the clean geometry that is the whole point. Shot on working jobsites, not staged. See the full breakdowns →

Who this is for

Built for the trades that hit concrete

General Contractors Penetration schedules unit-priced, scope splits in writing, phased mobilizations. Plumbing Contractors Stack cores, sleeves, and saw-cut trench runs priced from the fixture plan. HVAC Contractors Lineset cores, duct penetrations, louver openings — off the mechanical schedule. Electrical Contractors Conduit banks, feeder routes, EV infrastructure cores — clustered and on layout.

Property managers and engineers are welcome too — and homeowners have their own page for house-scale projects.

Process

How project requests work

Describe the scope once, properly

The form asks what estimators actually need — element, thickness, dimensions, GPR status, access — and takes plans and photos.
An independent local provider reviews it

Your request is routed to an independent Miami-area concrete cutting operator who prices the real scope under their own license and insurance.
You get a scope-based number

Not a teaser rate — a price tied to your dimensions and site conditions, with exclusions stated.
Work gets scheduled and done

Scheduling, permits, and execution run between you and the performing contractor, like any direct hire.

Cut305 helps customers submit concrete cutting and core drilling project requests for review by independent local service providers. The contractor performing the work is responsible for its own estimates, licensing, insurance, permits, and project execution.

Typical concrete cutting applications in Miami

The work behind the requests: renovation and build-out scopes across Miami-Dade's concrete building stock.

MEP penetrations

Cores for plumbing, HVAC, and electrical runs through slabs and walls — the bread and butter of tenant build-outs and repipes.

Door, window & storefront openings

Sawn openings in CMU and cast walls, engineered on bearing structure, cut to the rough opening.

Floor trenches & slab work

Drain and conduit trenches, slab removal sections, joints — cut clean so the pour-back holds.

Selective structural removal

Stairs, ramps, pads, and slab bays cut into sections and hauled — including PT decks and occupied buildings.

Flagship service

Core drilling, done like a submittal

Diameters from 1/2 in to 14 in and beyond, through reinforced slabs, shear walls, beams, and foundations. Wet drilling with slurry recovery as the default, dry methods where water is barred, and GPR scanning before anyone touches an elevated deck.

Start from the core drilling service page, or jump straight to the trade-specific detail: plumbing, HVAC, electrical. Pricing mechanics live in the cost guide.

Straight cuts

Wall, slab & wire sawing

Wall sawing Track-mounted blades cut openings in vertical structure to ~30 in deep — square, plumb, to the drawing. Slab sawing Floor saws handle trenches, removal sections, and joints — electric machines for occupied interiors. Wire sawing Diamond wire for mass concrete no blade reaches: deep beams, columns, pile caps, machine bases.

Hardware

The equipment behind the work

Diamond cutting is an equipment discipline. These are the machine classes independent crews bring to the scopes this site intakes.

High-frequency wall saw drive unit on its track mid-cut — High-frequency track saws

Electric drive heads on anchored tracks — straight cuts to ~30 in deep in walls, self-metered feed, quiet enough for occupied floors.

Wall saw mounted high on a concrete bunker wall with the operator below — Rigs that scale the structure

Tracks bolt to walls, soffits, and tall pours; the operator runs the cut from the ground by remote.

Track-mounted saw blade trimming concrete piles against the sky on a foundation site — Rail saws & specialty setups

Rail-mounted trimming for pile heads and parapets, wire saw drives for mass concrete, vacuum rigs for dry-only rooms.

Before you call anyone

What information helps price a job

Concrete cutting prices off five things. Have them ready — or put them straight into the request form — and the first number you get will be close to the last.

Element

Slab, wall, beam, column, or foundation — and where in the building.

Dimensions

Hole count and diameters, or opening/trench sizes in feet and inches.

Thickness

Measured, from drawings, or honestly “unknown”.

Conditions

PT or reinforced, occupied spaces, access, water and power on site.

Timing

Day, night, or weekend window — and the date the work must land.

Full details in the quote requirements guide.

Technical FAQ

What is the difference between core drilling and concrete cutting?

Core drilling makes round holes with a diamond barrel — penetrations for pipe, duct, and conduit. Concrete cutting is the wider family: wall sawing, slab sawing, and wire sawing make straight cuts for openings, trenches, and removals. Most projects need one or two methods; this overview maps them.

Can concrete be cut in an occupied Miami building?

Yes — diamond methods are non-percussive, so with containment, wet cutting, and often a night window, offices, condos, and hospitals keep operating around the work.

Do elevated slabs really need GPR scanning first?

Treat it as the default in South Florida — a large share of the local high-rise inventory is post-tensioned, and cutting a tendon is a serious, expensive event. The GPR guide explains when scanning is worth the line item.

How fast can I get a price?

That depends on scope completeness: a request with dimensions, thickness, and photos or drawings can be priced without a site walk in many cases. The quote requirements guide lists exactly what estimators need.

Who actually performs the work?

Independent Miami-area concrete cutting operators. This site collects and structures project requests; the performing contractor reviews your scope, issues their own estimate, and is responsible for their licensing, insurance, permits, and execution. Details on how it works.
