Diameter, depth, material, reinforcement and access affect execution. Include protection and disposal.
Bring this to the discussion
Dimensioned drawing, position, photographs and structural information.
Questions about the work
Can an opening be made anywhere in a concrete floor?
No. The floor's function and the position of reinforcement and services need assessment. An engineer can advise on suitable alterations.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
