Concrete Estimating for Texas Contractors

Texas's expansive clay soils — prevalent across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex and Central Texas — require post-tensioned slab-on-grade foundations on most residential and light commercial projects, and deep drilled piers on heavier structures. The Gulf Coast adds sulfate-resistant cement requirements. Texas does not require a statewide concrete contractor license, but most municipalities require a licensed contractor to pull permits. Special inspection is required per IBC Chapter 17 on structural concrete.
