The Coring & Cutting Group

What The Coring & Cutting Group does

The Coring & Cutting Group is a privately held U.S. specialty construction services company that has provided concrete coring, sawing, drilling, and selective demolition since 1979. Headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, the group operates as a collective of 25 locations across 12 states (concentrated in the Midwest, Southeast, and South) under a portfolio of regional brands including ABC Cutting Contractors, Coring & Cutting Services Inc., True Line Coring & Cutting, Iowa Concrete Cutting, Kansas Coring & Cutting, Oklahoma Coring & Cutting, and others. The company serves commercial, industrial, residential, and government/infrastructure end markets, with project work ranging from small residential garage modifications to large industrial plant reconstructions (e.g., Lifeline Foods mill, Valley Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, Memphis VA, Tennessee Valley Authority electrical infrastructure, and transportation network projects).

The service portfolio spans nine primary concrete-cutting disciplines — chain sawing, core drilling (1/4" to 66" diameter), curb sawing, grooving and grinding, hand sawing, slab sawing, wall sawing, and wire sawing — supplemented by Brokk remote-controlled demolition robotics (18+ machines across sizes 90–330), Ground Penetrating Radar for rebar/utilities detection, egress window cutting, and shot blasting. The underlying technology is mechanical and capital-intensive: diamond-impregnated blades and wire, track-mounted hydraulic and electric saws, and electric demolition robots that fit through standard man-doors and operate emissions-free in enclosed, regulated environments such as hospitals and food processing plants.

The business model is project-based, quote-driven services revenue: estimators and project managers work with customers from project intake through formal proposal, billing is per-project (one-time service engagement) with no disclosed recurring contracts or subscription pricing, and go-to-market is direct via location-based sales through the sawconcrete.com platform and direct branch contact. The company employs 101–250 people performing 500,000+ man hours of work annually, with 40% of operators OSHA 30-hour certified and 70% OSHA 10-hour certified. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined by project scope, equipment, location, and complexity. No funding rounds, M&A history, or institutional ownership is disclosed in the available data.

Direct peers

• Penhall Company: Penhall is the largest concrete cutting, coring, and demolition services provider in the U.S., operating across multiple regions with a comparable service portfolio (slab/wall/wire sawing, core drilling, Brokk demolition). Most directly comparable competitor to the Coring & Cutting Group's national, multi-branch model.
• Concrete Cutting & Breaking Co. Michigan-headquartered specialty concrete cutting and breaking contractor serving commercial, industrial, and infrastructure markets. Directly comparable in service mix (coring, sawing, demolition) and customer segments, though regionally concentrated in the Midwest.
• National Concrete Cutting & Coring: National-level concrete cutting and coring contractor offering core drilling, wall/slab sawing, and selective demolition. Closely comparable in service portfolio and multi-state roll-up structure to the Coring & Cutting Group's collective of branded subsidiaries.
• Absolute Concrete Cutting: Regional concrete cutting and coring contractor offering core drilling, slab/wall sawing, and demolition services to commercial and industrial customers. Comparable in service scope though smaller in geographic footprint than the Coring & Cutting Group.
• Bierlein Companies: Multi-disciplinary specialty contractor providing concrete cutting, demolition, environmental remediation, and industrial services across the Midwest. Comparable in core cutting/coring capabilities and industrial customer base, with overlapping geographic presence.
• Testa Demolition: Selective demolition and concrete cutting contractor serving commercial and industrial clients with sawing, coring, and robotic demolition. Comparable in selective demolition capabilities and Brokk-style robotic fleet usage, though more focused on larger structural demolition projects.

Broad incumbents

• D.H. Griffin Wrecking Company: Large full-service demolition and environmental services contractor with concrete cutting capabilities as part of a broader portfolio. Comparable in demolition offerings but operates at significantly larger scale and broader scope than the Coring & Cutting Group's specialty focus.
• BrandSafway: Large specialty contractor providing access, scaffolding, concrete cutting, and industrial services to commercial and infrastructure markets. Comparable in serving large infrastructure and industrial customers, though concrete cutting is a smaller part of BrandSafway's broader portfolio.

Others

• Brokk Inc. Manufacturer of remote-controlled demolition robots that the Coring & Cutting Group purchases and deploys (18+ machines in fleet). Not a competitor but a critical equipment supplier whose product roadmap directly shapes the Group's service capabilities.
