Cement pricing for driveway/sidewalks, Help please
Posted on 3/23/15 at 3:18 am
Posted on 3/23/15 at 3:18 am
Anyone familiar with the price norm when it comes to pouring cement for driveway/sidewalks?
Currently buildng. Contract allowance says "2,400 sq foot (all flat concrete work)"
We requested to add some extra slab and a few extra sidewalks behind the house and garage. I'm just wondering what to expect to be charged for the over budget cement?
Any help would be appreciated.

L-M cost w/o overhead or proffit is about 2.40/sy for 4" thickness and 3,000 psi mix

So if im adding 553 sq feet of 4" thick cement sidewalks/carport, that'd be 184 sq yards I guess. 184 x's $2.40 would mean the cement is only costing $441.60?

What's a good installed price for driveways?

I think he meant to say Square foot. If not I need his concrete subs number

The concrete is going to be around $105 a yard delivered. Add your labor and mat cost to that.

Basically could someone give me an estimate/prediction on what to expect to add 553 sq foot of cement over budget through my contractor?

First off it is concrete not cement. Approx cost is $45-$50 a square yard for commercial work 4" think. 551 sq ft = 61 sq yds. so about @2,800-3,000.
Residential can be a little cheaper.

A yard is a cubic yard of concrete. Typically one truck holds 8-12 yards. Usually just 8 though. Material costs are around a 100 bucks a yard like previous posters said.

I got 6.83 cubic yards of concrete for 553 sq ft 4" thick

Concrete Price Calculator
Don't know how accurate this is, but I would imagine it's not too far off.

Quotes for labor/materials with form, float and finishing on the slabs I'm having done for 4" was in the neighborhood of ~$5-6 per sq/ft, or about $325-350/cubic yard. That included waste and haul in cause a truck isnt accessible to either slab area without damaging the driveway or yard.
If your getting it done while the driveway is getting poured it will might be cheaper, based on quantity ordered.

I am a builder. I pay my concrete guy $2.50/ft for driveways/sidewalks. Hope that helps

you realize cement is an ingredient of concrete?

Yep, $5/SF is a good rule of thumb to use for sidewalks in the commercial world and they're typically 4" thick. Not sure about residential.
