Site Evaluation

It is good practice to schedule a site evaluation with the general contractor and architect/owner prior to commencement of any maple flooring installation. The site evaluation should take place no sooner than 30 days after the concrete slab is poured. At this time you can inform the involved parties of your on-site needs and requirements. Below are the things you should make the general contractor and architect/owner aware of during a site evaluation meeting:

• All roof work should be completed, including flashing, guttering and exterior drainage.
  
• The building must be permanently enclosed and weather-tight.
  
• All block, brick, masonry, tile, marble and/or terrazzo work must be complete, cured and dried.
  
• Concrete flatness and moisture content must meet the requirements detailed in MFMA Position Statements "Concrete Slab Moisture Content" and "Concrete Slab Flatness."
  
• All interior painting must be completed and dry.
  
• The permanent light, heating, electrical and ventilation systems must be operating.
  
• All overhead work must be complete, and the floor area must be free of obstructions.
  
• All backstops and sports accessory fixtures must be installed.
  

If you have additional questions, contact MFMA's Technical Director at 847-480-9138.
