How to start your own concrete cutting business

You can start your own business and be your own boss, like a concrete cutter. Concrete is typically cut with large, powerful handheld cutting machines with diamond-tipped cutting saw blades that are portable and can be carried on a trailer or in the back of a pickup truck.

Many homeowners and construction workers need a straight line concrete cut and often don’t have their own concrete cutting machine to get the job done. Someone remodeling their driveway may want to cut a section with a straight line, that’s where you can come in and offer them your concrete cutting services. You can search for new concrete cutting machines on the Internet, and you can also search for used machines in heavy equipment catalogs and magazines, or online. You can rent a machine from equipment rental stores, but it would be cheaper to buy your own, as soon as you can afford it.

You can contact people in the construction business such as cement workers, concrete pavers, dump truck and bobcat owners, etc. and let them know that you are in the cutting business. You can offer them a commission for any work they send you. Make sure you have nice signs on your vehicle so customers can call you when they see you cutting concrete on a job.

You can market and grow your business to have someone else operate the concrete cutting machine, while getting more jobs. You can later add services like coring and concrete drilling.
