What commercial cutting scopes look like
Commercial work rarely means one hole. It means a penetration schedule with forty cores across three floors, a set of sawn openings tied to a structural sketch, or a phased slab removal that has to stay ahead of the plumber. The pricing, paperwork, and site behavior all differ from residential work: COIs to building management, badging, protection of finished surfaces, containment plans, and work windows dictated by tenants above and below.
This intake is built for that. The request form takes penetration schedules and drawings directly, asks the questions a commercial estimator actually needs answered — GPR status, occupancy, day/night — and routes the package to independent Miami-area operators who price commercial subcontract work.
Common commercial project types
Tenant improvement & build-out
MEP penetrations, floor boxes, and interior openings on occupied multi-tenant floors — small windows, tight containment.
Hospitality & condo repositioning
Riser replacements and layout changes in towers that stay partially occupied — stacked cores, night work, noise management.
Healthcare & institutional
Infection-control-driven containment, negative air, and phasing around clinical operations.
Parking structures
EV conduit routes, drainage cores, and deck section removal — PT construction and scanning discipline throughout.
Industrial & warehouse
Equipment pads, trench runs for utilities, dock modifications, and machine anchor coring on thick slabs.
Structural retrofit support
Cutting for strengthening scopes: openings for new steel, removal sections at connection points, dowel drilling on engineer layout.
What a subcontract cutting bid needs from you
The more of the bid package that comes with the request, the closer the first number lands:
- Drawings: structural, MEP, or at minimum the penetration schedule
- Scope split: what the cutting sub covers vs the GC (layout, shoring, debris, patching)
- Building logistics: elevator access, staging, protection, badging, COI requirements
- Phasing: one mobilization or several, milestone dates, float
- Work windows and noise limits per building rules
- GPR scanning: done, needed as a line item, or excluded

Frequently asked questions
Who carries licensing and insurance on the work?
The independent contractor performing the work — they hold their own licensing and insurance and provide COIs to your requirements. This site collects and routes project requests; it is not the performing contractor. Details on the how it works page.
Can a penetration schedule be priced line by line?
Yes — that is the preferred format. Per-hole unit pricing by diameter and depth, with mobilization, scanning, and night premiums broken out so the GC can level bids cleanly.
How is pricing structured for phased work?
Typically unit rates plus per-mobilization charges. Fewer, larger mobilizations price better than many small ones — flag the phasing plan in the request so it can be optimized.
What lead time should a GC plan for?
It depends on scope size and the provider’s book of work — state your required start date in the request and providers respond with real availability rather than a promise this site cannot make for them.
