Business slabs in a small city
The Texas State Historical Association records that by 1884 the Ross community had a steam gristmill and cotton gin, a general store, two churches and a school. The city now covers 1.54 square miles of land, by the Census Bureau's count. No City of Ross building code, permit page or inspection schedule for commercial work could be found, so ask the City what it requires before design starts.
The American Concrete Institute's cold-weather guide, ACI 306R-16, counts a protection period as cold weather once the air is below 40°F or expected to fall below it, and Waco's 1991–2020 normals include 34.1 days a year when the low reaches 32°F or below. Summer costs strength too: concrete that gets hot while it first cures finishes weaker, at later ages, than identical concrete cured at about 70°F, the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association reports.
Paving around the building is covered on Ross parking lot work, and the walks to its doors on walkways in Ross; the Ross concrete page lists the rest.

Ready-mix sold for an average of $160 a cubic yard nationally in 2023. For a poured slab in Texas, a typical 2026 figure is $5.30 to $5.90 a square foot, and national figures for the same year give $12 to $18 a square foot for an 8- to 10-inch foundation. Averages, not our prices.
Strength tests, tilt-up and curing on commercial concrete
How do test cylinders prove a commercial slab's strength?
Acceptance rests on cylinders usually broken at 28 days; a 7-day break is an early indication only, the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association says. The concrete meets its specified strength when three consecutive tests average at least that figure and no single test is more than 500 psi below it.
Can a church or shop be built with tilt-up walls?
Yes. The Tilt-Up Concrete Association says tilt-up goes on nearly every building type, from distribution centers to schools, churches, libraries, retail centers and offices. The wall panels are cast flat on a concrete slab-on-ground and lifted into place by crane once they are strong enough.
How long does a new commercial slab need to cure?
Curing should start right after placing and finishing and normally continue for 3 to 7 days, by the association's guidance, with the new concrete kept above 50°F.
