VIDEO: Construction costs per m3
Ready-mixed concrete or mixing it yourself is certainly not just a question of price. If you need larger quantities of concrete and in compliance with certain construction requirements (Surfaces or columns in one piece) have to concret, often only precast concrete is used in question. However, depending on the source of supply, it can cost more or less.
Minimize construction costs - produce concrete yourself
- On small construction sites, concrete is produced for a variety of construction purposes with the help of a concrete mixer. Do-it-yourselfers can make permanent concrete themselves, given a few rules for proper concrete composition and processing.
- To produce 100 kilograms of compacted concrete, you need up to 25 kilograms of cement in addition to water and sand. So for an m3 Concrete process ten bags of cement weighing 25 kilograms and 100 liters of water. How much sand mixture you add depends on the desired consistency (dry or wet grain mixture) and the grain size of the sand.
- It is easier with ready-mixed concrete, dry in a 40-kilogram sack. The prices are around 5 to 6 euros per sack. From 40 kilograms of dry precast concrete you get around 20 liters, two tons make 1,000 liters (one cubic meter) of fresh concrete.
Ready-mixed concrete - prices per m3
Before the vehicles with precast concrete can start unloading on your construction site, you must estimate the amount of concrete and determine the concrete quality.

- The construction costs for the extraction of one m3 Ready-mixed concrete depends primarily on the respective quality levels. In the case of deliveries, the prices differ per m3 due to different sand grain sizes, quality and classification. So fast setting costs more than normal concrete.
- To calculate your construction costs, you should pay between 55 and 100 euros per cubic meter for the simplest type of concrete from a cheap supplier. In the case of environmental concrete or frost-protected ready-mixed concrete, the price can also double.
- The prices that you can find on the websites of concrete manufacturers are generally subject to change and apply - unloaded free to the construction site - for a specific one in the vicinity of the plant. In addition, prices can increase due to long waiting times on your construction site, a winter operating surcharge or concrete disposal.
Your construction cost calculation is only complete if you add the wages of the construction site workers and the costs of any concrete pump that may be required.
