Can a builder request a fixed schedule from a concrete contractor?

To a genuine, reasonable extent — a properly resourced concrete subcontractor can commit to a planned schedule as part of a builder’s broader program, though genuine weather-dependent flexibility around pour dates specifically remains a real, unavoidable factor.

Clear communication about the builder’s overall program requirements upfront allows a concrete subcontractor to plan resourcing and materials accordingly, supporting genuinely reliable scheduling within reasonable weather-related limits.

Building some sensible buffer into the broader construction program around concrete stages specifically acknowledges this genuine weather dependency, rather than treating concrete scheduling as fully controllable like some other trades might be.
