Cost of ready mix concrete

pwhalley · 10 Jan 2006

can anyone give me a ball park figure for the cubic metre cost of readymix concrete for use in foundation work. I am planning to pour strip foundations 600mm wide and 1 metre deep. A rough guide would be useful for my budget.

many thanks in advance

Paul

I recently did a shed base, and was quoted between £110-£150 for a cubic metre. If you can't pour direct, make sure you have a couple of barrows and a spare pair of hands on the day.

I laid strip foundations recently and paid £90.00 per cube, (Blackburn lancs)

Are you building a muti storey car park ? 1 meter thick footings ? Also 600mm wide ? Thats going to take a serious amount of crete

Not a car park, but the ground is pretty unstable and surrounded by trees. Just adding contingency. Mind you a car park would bring in a bit of cash!
