Our Kansas City Construction Project Process for GCs
Pre-Bid Support
We provide detailed flooring specifications, unit cost budgeting support, product alternatives analysis, and scope-of-work clarification for your bid preparation. We respond to GC pre-bid requests within 24 hours during business days.
Pre-Construction Coordination
We participate in pre-construction meetings, review concrete specifications for compatibility with the specified flooring system, issue concrete readiness requirements to the concrete contractor, and coordinate our installation schedule with the overall construction schedule.
Concrete Readiness Verification
Before mobilizing to your Kansas City project site, we verify: concrete strength (minimum 3,500 psi for most systems), moisture vapor emission (ASTM F1869 or F2170), surface profile (CSP per ICRI standards), and absence of incompatible curing compounds or form release agents. We document all pre-installation conditions in writing — protecting both our warranty and your contract documentation.
Installation & QC
Our field supervisors maintain quality control documentation throughout the installation. Daily quality control checkpoints include: material mixing ratios, ambient and substrate temperature, humidity, application rate, and mil thickness verification. Any non-conforming conditions are documented and resolved before work proceeds.
Closeout Documentation
Complete project closeout package includes: product data sheets for all installed materials, SDS documentation, installation records, warranty certificates (workmanship and manufacturer), DCOF test results for slip-resistant surfaces, and before/after photographic documentation.

They show up when they say they will, the work is consistently first-rate, and their paperwork is complete on day one of closeout. That’s everything a GC needs.” — Project Manager, KC Commercial Construction Firm
“We used High Stakes Epoxy on a fast-track food processing facility in Gardner with a brutal schedule. They mobilized on 72 hours’ notice, worked a double-shift installation to meet our substantial completion date, and the floor passed the owner’s inspection on the first review.
