Re: Curb And Gutter Estimating


It depends. How much apron, how thick, slope up, etc. How much does the machine cost per hour or day to run so many feet. How many guys on the crew.....in other words, while we can have "formulas" for a lot of stuff, most have to be tailored to individual purpose. $4 a foot is what a contractor is getting here for something similar, but with rising asphalt prices, now the big thing is running concrete streets with integral curbs, then cutting the expansion joints.

Re: Curb And Gutter Estimating


Yeah....my first thought was....what curb profile??? Here in Utah UDOT has several approved profiles that most cities will allow. Some cost more than others.
