Concrete Subcontractors in Florida
86 Florida-licensed concrete subcontractors statewide. Sign in to see phone and email and invite a sub to bid on your RFQ.
Concrete subcontractors place the cast-in-place concrete on a project — footings, foundations, slabs on grade and slabs on deck, walls, columns, and the formwork, reinforcing, finishing, and jointing that go with them. On commercial jobs they price from the structural drawings and Division 03 spec, coordinate embeds and sleeves with the MEP trades, and carry the work that the rest of the building is built on top of, which puts their schedule on the critical path.
What GCs ask for
When a GC sends a concrete RFQ, they want a quote against the structural set and the Division 03 spec — mix designs, reinforcing schedule, slab thicknesses, joint layout, and finish requirements. Bids are typically broken out by cubic yard for placement and by square foot for slab work, with separate lines for formwork, reinforcing, and finishing. GCs want the bid to call out included mix designs, finish tolerance (FF/FL numbers where called for), and what's excluded — concrete testing, embeds furnished by others, slab moisture mitigation, sealers.

Licensing in Florida
Concrete contracting in Florida falls under the specialty contractor classification regulated by the Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB) under the DBPR. A specialty contractor's license covers the scope of work listed under that classification — formwork, reinforcing, placement, and finishing of cast-in-place concrete — and can be held at the certified level (statewide) or the registered level (local jurisdiction only). Concrete scope can also be performed by a general contractor (CGC/CBC/CRC) under their broader license. Florida treats unlicensed contracting as a crime, which is why every concrete sub in this directory carries its DBPR license number.
Common questions
Does the concrete sub furnish embeds and anchor bolts?
Usually no. Anchor bolts, steel embeds, leveling plates, and weld-on inserts are typically furnished by the steel or miscellaneous metals sub and installed by the concrete sub during the pour. RFQs should state who furnishes and who installs each category of embed. A clean concrete bid lists embed installation as included by others-furnished or excludes it entirely and lets the GC reconcile.
Who handles concrete testing and inspection?
Concrete testing — slump, air content, cylinder breaks — is almost always carried by a third-party testing lab paid by the owner or the GC, not the concrete sub. The concrete sub is responsible for delivering mix designs that meet the spec and cooperating with testing on site. RFQs should state who pays for testing; bids typically exclude testing as a line item.
What's a typical slab finish tolerance?
Standard commercial slabs are specified with Floor Flatness (FF) and Floor Levelness (FL) numbers in Division 03. A conventional commercial slab runs around FF 25 / FL 20; a tighter spec for warehouse or retail floors can call for FF 35 / FL 25 or higher. Concrete bids should price to the called-out tolerance and note the assumption — high-tolerance floors take more screeding labor and finishing passes.
How are joints and crack-control measures priced?
Construction joints, control joints (saw-cut or tooled), and expansion joints are typically called out on a joint plan in the structural set. The concrete sub prices the joint pattern shown and installs control joints to the spec'd depth and timing. Sealants in the joints — silicone or polyurethane fills — are sometimes carried by the concrete sub and sometimes by the sealant sub. RFQs should call out which.
What does the verification badge on a sub's profile mean?
The badge reflects what was reviewed: a verified state license earns License Verified — the usual path for a concrete sub — a verified certificate of insurance earns Insurance Verified, and a sub with both reviewed shows the Verified Pro umbrella.
