Re: Concrete Finishing


If you having the work done, $50.00 SqFt. If you are doing the work, $2.00 SqFt.

Your trade is concrete, so why such a question?

Re: Concrete Finishing


I just paid the bill from my concrete contractor. Two driveways and lead sidewalks. 4" thick $3.20 per square foot, formed, placed, finished, labor and materials.

6" thick drive approach (between curb and sidewalk including sidewalk at driveway, $3.95 per square foot.

Tractor time (grading with a bobcat) $35 per hour.

Now before you start complaining about how us GC's screw our subs, I don't ask for or receive bids from this sub, I just call him and have him do the job and bill me. He prices my jobs the way he prices jobs he does for other contractors.

Re: Concrete Finishing


I charge fifty cent a square for a 1 sack mix. If I have to buy 2 sacks the price goes way up.

Re: Concrete Finishing


I have to agree with Joasis. If you are in the concrete business, ya ought to know. With that said, it is a loaded question as there are so many variations to a pour;

* What is the size of the pour?
* Finish desired?
* Can you get the truck to it?
* Will we have to drag it?
* What about the number of plumbing pipes to work around?
* On Vapor barrier?
* Boom truck or line pump?
* Do we have access to edges, etc.?
* What type of concrete is it?
* What is the ready mix supplier's quality control?
* Will the trucks keep coming as scheduled?

Need I go further in depth with the questions? I can.
