for the crete itself, your looking at about 450-500 dollars. but, that doesnt include labor.
also, its measured in cubic yards, not square feet. you'll need about 4 cu. yds.

my suggestion: call professionals and ask them

^^^ That is hella expensive for 4 CY of concrete.

12/3/2006 2:26:28 PM

small quantities of concrete are more expensive per cy

you'll have to pay for pouring and finishing - whats this for, a garage floor or something?

like ^^^^ said, call a professional

If you can get other people in your area interested you can save some on the concrete. Like if your neighbors were going to get a concrete patio poured right beside yours.

Is the commerical or residential? If commericial, pm. You are probably looking at 1000-1200 bucks. Remember, you are paying for 4 yds of concrete, 4 people for a full day, reinforcing, materials, and does not include grading the area prior to pouring the concrete.

I work for a residential builder and our cost for concrete is $88.00/yd + any extras we want put in the concrete (fiber, calcium, etc) Then we have to pay a couple of people labor to actually put down and smooth it.

does that price include site preparation and everything? Also, does it cost more to pour a driveway that is curved?

12/4/2006 9:18:12 AM

no, site prep, rebar, tie wire, 2x4's, nails and all that other shit are usually extra. and of course actual labor too.

when i was doing commercial concrete a couple years ago, we would get concrete for about $75/cu. yard and all that included was delivery.

so, his $88/cu. yard probably doesnt include anything but the actual concrete.

4 cu. yards of crete is actually quite a bit. imagine the concrete trucks you see on the road -- they can only hold 10 cu. yards per trip.

little slabs like that are generally priced by sq ft and not yd. figure 3-4 bucks (w/ forms and welded wire reinforcement) a sq. ft. depending on curves, reinforcement, site access, etc. It pretty much costs at least a 1000 bucks a day to have a crew of laborers out on a site. And generally, they are there for at least one day.

Nope, as said above, site prep is done by the laborers. Also, I'm not certain about the cost on a curved driveway, but I do believe all of our concrete laborers bill us for time on job. So if it takes longer to do it, then yeah, it'll be more

Also, all of our concrete providers have told us that as of Jan 1 they will be raising their prices $5-$7/yd

$1000 bucks total is a good estimate. you wont get as good a price on the material as a company would get so your best bet is to call a pro.

why do you want 5"? 4" is plenty.
