Cost for Concrete

Bonnan · Jul 31, 2015

It is now necessary that the concrete driveway be demo and replaced. What are you guys paying for a yard of concrete installed? As its been years since having anything done and I'm kind of out of touch; currently in process getting some bids but just looking for a rough bench mark.

106 bucks a yard is what my friend paid for concrete delivered to pour his pole barn floor here in Connecticut

Same as Markct reported, concrete right now costs around $100/yard here in central Kansas.

I hate to say this, but I remember concrete delivered for $11 a yard.

When you say installed, do you mean poured, reinforced, and finished? That would be somewhat more than the cost of the concrete, although some contractors get a discounted price for volume.

4 yard minimum from our local ReadyMix.

$3.05 per sq. ft. for material, labor to finish 4" thick. Around $80 per yard here in SE. SD.

Around here it is $100 per yard of concrete for material and the labor/rebar/finishing runs about another $100. Maybe $75 if not too much site prep. So figure $175-200 per yard and you will be real close for a complete job.

I have a friend that's a concrete finisher, he done it all his life. He put down a 6 inch 30x50 floor. He is old school, no fiberglass, just wire. I did all the prep work. I got contractor rates from ready mix place. Tax and all was under $100/yard. He hired some of his friends to help. A Saturday job. He brought a motorized trolling machine and a Georgia buggy. Labor cost $500. No cracks, professional job.

He doesn't believe in 3.5 inch slabs.

10 years ago he put a drive in for me, again wire, 6 inches, no cracks. When I added a 2 car garage to my house, I installed an oversized footer, 24 wide and 30 inches deep. The end of the drive rests on the footer. Nothing has moved, no settling. And unlike black top, absolutely no maintance, no sealing, no additional costs.

It would depend a lot on where you're located and what grade of concrete you're using... here, as best I can recall, you'd be looking at upwards of 150/yard for concrete and close to another as much to have it poured.

Poured concrete when first out of high school.A lot of it. The price then was 8-10 dollars a yard. Long time ago.

Back in the mid 60s my dad and I poured skirts around the barn and he was friendly with the guys up at the local plant. The interstate hi ways were in progress and we got HI-Way grade cement. The stuff is SNOW white and when it sets up you can't bust it with a sledge hammer! The platforms are still in fine shape with only two cracks. One where a bull dozer slid on ice and the other is where a natural fault in the shale has moved maybe 1/8 of an inch in 50 years. Also poured it pretty thick. No mamby pamby 4 inch stuff.

I had a toe wall (spillway) poured last month (July).

My excavation contractor did all of the excavation rebar and finishing work.

He gave me a copy of the receipt from the concrete company: 12 cubic yards 3500 PSI AE delivered $96.45 per cubic yard.

SE Indiana, near Cincinnati, OH.

Local guy here charges 2- 2 1/2 times the price of concrete, depending how much in demand he is.

I just poured the floor myself for a small shed. I priced the local plants and got prices of up to $180 CDN/m3 (stupid metric) which is about $138.50/yd3 plus 13% tax (stupid taxes) for a total of $156.50/yd3 delivered, this for 28 MPa mix (about 4000 psi). I then went to the ready-mix plant where I used to work and they delivered me 32MPa (about 4500 psi) at contractor price of $166.50 + 13%= $188.15/m3, which worked out to about $144.70/yd3. Minimum load was 3.5 m3, about 4.5 yd3. Everything is expensive here. Of course our Canadian dollar is in the dump right now.
