Local decisions first
Check parcel flood information before setting levels
Orange Beach provides floodplain information and advises contacting Community Development before construction. Use that resource to check the actual parcel rather than treating the entire city as one flood category. For new concrete, identify the intended use, proposed surface location and existing thresholds. Ask the design professional how verified site constraints affect elevations and drainage, then carry that decision into every proposal. Do not choose a raised slab or drainage outlet from a generic coastal assumption.

Prepare the right kind of new-concrete request
For a new driveway, note vehicle use and the street connection. For a patio, mark furniture space and door transitions. For a residential slab, describe the planned structure and provide any drawings. These are different scopes; do not compare them on area alone.
Give every bidder the same preliminary dimensions, photos and intended-use description. Ask who determines the design, checks local requirements and coordinates inspections. A volume calculation helps explain geometry but cannot specify a structural slab or final order.
