Pricing base
Cubic metre volume is the starting point, but final pricing also depends on delivery, access and site requirements.

Concrete delivery cost
See what affects concrete delivery cost: volume, distance, schedule, access and job-site constraints.
Main cost drivers
Price depends on volume, mix type, area, schedule, site access, pumping needs and project-specific requirements.
Why avoid a generic fixed price?
Two projects with the same volume can cost differently if one requires pumping, complex access, a narrow time window or delivery to a farther area.
Start with volume
Cubic metre volume is the base of the discussion. Use the calculator to estimate quantity, then add an allowance based on site conditions.
Get a useful quote
Send dimensions, desired date, address, access and site notes. These details lead to a more relevant response than a broad average.
Plan this type of project
Preparation
Plan for a stable base, clear forms, levels, drainage and reinforcement or finishing details if the project requires them.
Access and delivery
Indicate whether the truck can approach, whether there is backyard access, overhead wires, slope or distance to cover.
Next step
Calculate an approximate quantity, add city, desired date and constraints, then send the quote request.
People also ask
How do you calculate concrete for concrete delivery cost?
Multiply useful dimensions in the same unit, convert the result to cubic metres and add an allowance based on job-site conditions.
How much allowance should you add?
A 5 to 10% allowance is often used for depth variation, waste and irregularities. Uncertain sites may require more.
What information is needed for a quote?
City, address, desired date, project type, estimated quantity, site access and known constraints make the request more useful.
Does the truck need direct access to the pour?
Direct access simplifies delivery. If the pour is far from the truck, elevated, in a basement or in a backyard, include that in the request.
When should a concrete pump be considered?
A pump may be useful when distance, height, obstacles or access make truck or wheelbarrow placement difficult.
