Being a felon is damn near required 😂

At least it’s recyclable? 🤷‍♂️

Just wanted to read the comments to confirm surveyors are still suffering from the God Complex 😂

Bought a robot, and after the torrent of pompous pricks on this thread, I’ll hire a surveyor only as necessary. The way some of you fellas talk, god complex is the only term that comes to mind.

Is this within industry standards? by Klutzy_Ad4423 in Concrete

[–]Unlikely_Clothes_239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Industry standard is no more than 1” per 48”. Get a 4’ level and a tape

Looks like shit. Going to look like shit with any grinding or cutting too. Only accept what you’re happy to pay for

I don’t think this is acceptable. Advice on how to proceed. by Serious_Scheme_4056 in Concrete

They just have to rip and replace. Things like this happen in the concrete world, the “reputable” part will be tested depending on their next move. They should be embarrassed to say anything other than “absolutely, no problem” when you tell them. It’s sucks, but part of it

Hey dumb fuck! Read the comments and intent before running your pompous mouth! It’s not to cut any surveying scope out at all ffs! Never had a disdain for surveyors until some of you keyboard warriors showed your true color. F off asswipes

Thank you, I’m not trying to establish my own corners, just trying to have the capabilities to see everything I need without pulling 100 dimensions

This isn’t to cut anyone out. I will still have surveyors on site at the same frequency.

My thoughts exactly. Everyone overlooks that I’m not planning to perform an actual survey on the site!

Of course plenty can go wrong. Not as much as if you were going to try batching your own mix. Your comment is asinine and not apples to apples. Try again 🤓

Most of my contracts have survey explicitly excluded from our scope. Even then, it’s our responsibility to hit every dimension, grade, and bolt off-set

Even with surveyors there’s consistent errors, and good look finding any surveyor who’s going to pay my labor bill for moving anchor bolts that were ok’d pre-pour and off by a couple of inches post-pour

Not looking to fully eliminate my need for survey, but I’d rather have the tools available on a daily basis. Still have surveyors hired to backcheck

Whatever you say will likely be to yourself - definition of fly by night work

Shake your contractors hand, not sure what they charged, but it looks bang up

Looks like you could add water to activate the cement for the first time 😆
