Before you call a concrete supplier near you
Have these numbers ready before calling ready-mix companies near you.
| Signal to check | What it means | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Volume in yards | You have a yd³ estimate from your dimensions. | Use the calculator above — enter length, width, depth. |
| Waste factor | Added 5–15% waste depending on pour complexity. | Use 10% for a standard slab, more for steps or curved edges. |
| Delivery minimum | You know the supplier's minimum load (usually 1–3 yd³). | Ask about minimums and short-load surcharges when you call. |
| Site access | Truck can reach the pour point with the chute or pump. | Measure the driveway width and note any low overhead clearance. |
