A method including placing a screed hardware unit upright on a surface. The hardware unit includes a base and a post. The base is fastened on the surface such that the post extends vertically from the base. The method further includes adjusting a height of the hardware unit so as to be consistent with a desired grade. Concrete is poured up to and/or around the hardware unit, and the concrete is screeded at the grade indicated by the height of the hardware unit.

1. A method, comprising: preparing a screed hardware unit, the hardware unit including a base, a post, and a removably attachable cap member, and the preparing including: connecting the post to the base via a frictional interference fit by inserting the post into a post mount portion on the base, where a width dimension of the post is greater than a correspondingly shaped width dimension of the post mount portion with which the post engages such that an outer surface of the post encounters frictional force upon insertion, andattaching the cap member to the post via a threaded engagement between a threaded outer surface of the post and a threaded inner surface of the cap member, the cap member being a grade marker cap having an upper surface that is planar across substantially an entirety thereof, the upper surface being a horizontally-oriented surface opposite a side of the cap member on which the post is attachable to the cap member, and the upper surface extending radially outward from a central axis of the cap member which is collinear with an axis of the post when attached;placing the hardware unit upright on a surface by fastening the base to the surface such that the post extends vertically from the base;adjusting a height of the hardware unit so that the upper surface of the cap member is consistent with a desired grade;pouring concrete up to and/or around the hardware unit; andscreeding the concrete against the upper surface of the cap member at the desired grade indicated by a height of the upper surface of the cap member on the upright hardware unit,wherein the post has a distal end and a base end, the base end of the post having a smooth continuous surface and being attachable to and detachable from the base at the post mount portion, the post being detachable from the base after the fastening of the base to the surface, and the distal end having the threaded outer surface to connect the cap member directly to the post and via which a position of the cap member is adjustable with respect to the post. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the preparing the hardware unit further includes: peeling a cover off of an adhesive member to adhere the base of the hardware unit to the surface during the placing of the hardware unit. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the placing of the hardware unit includes peeling a cover from an adhesive member attached to the base. 4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising laying a membrane on the surface before placing the hardware unit thereon. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the placing of the hardware unit includes placing a plurality of hardware units upright on the surface, and arranging the plurality of hardware units so as to maintain the desired grade of the concrete. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the placing of the hardware unit includes peeling off a cover covering an adhesive member attached to the base, andsticking the base to a membrane on the surface without piercing the membrane. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the adjusting the height of the hardware unit includes adjusting a length of the post. 8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the adjusting the length of the post includes one of rotating the base end of the post with respect to the distal end of the post via a threaded engagement, orsliding the base end of the post with respect to the distal end of the post via an interference press fit engagement. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the adjusting the height of the hardware unit includes adjusting the position of the cap member with respect to the distal end of the post. 10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the adjusting the position of the cap member includes rotating the cap member with respect to the distal end of the post via the threaded engagement. 11. A method, comprising: preparing a strip area for screeding a pad of concrete;layering a surface of the strip area with a membrane;arranging screed hardware units in the strip area, each hardware unit having a base attached to a base end of a post, a removably attachable cap member, and an adhesive member attached to a bottom surface of the base, the arranging including: connecting the post to the base via a frictional interference fit by inserting the base end of the post into a post mount portion on the base, where a width dimension of the post is greater than a correspondingly shaped width dimension of the post mount portion with which the post engages such that an outer surface of the post encounters frictional force upon insertion, andattaching the cap member to a distal end of the post via a threaded engagement between a threaded outer surface of the post and a threaded inner surface of the cap member, the cap member being a grade marker cap having an upper surface that is planar across substantially an entirety thereof, the upper surface being a horizontally-oriented surface opposite a side of the cap member on which the post is attachable to the cap member, and the upper surface extending radially outward from a central axis of the cap member which is collinear with an axis of the post when attached;removing a cover from the respective adhesive members so as to expose an adhesive of the adhesive members;sticking the exposed adhesive attached to the bottom surface of the base of the hardware units on the membrane without piercing the membrane such that the hardware units are upright having the post extending vertically;pouring concrete up to and/or around the hardware units in the strip area; andscreeding the concrete in the strip area against the upper surface of the cap member at a desired grade indicated by a height of the upper surface of the cap member on the upright hardware units,wherein the post has a distal end and a base end, the base end of the post having a smooth continuous surface and being attachable to and detachable from the base at the post mount portion, the post being detachable from the base after the fastening of the base to the surface, and the distal end having the threaded outer surface to connect the cap member directly to the post and via which a position of the cap member is adjustable with respect to the post.
