Can a builder request a concrete subcontractor attend a pre-start meeting?

Yes, and it’s genuinely good practice — a pre-start meeting lets the builder and concrete subcontractor align on program, access, engineering requirements and any site-specific issues before work begins, rather than working these out on the fly.

A reliable subcontractor should welcome this rather than treat it as an inconvenience, since it genuinely reduces the chance of miscommunication once the project is underway.
