Frequently Asked Questions
A complete concrete project typically includes material costs (concrete per cubic yard), delivery fees, labor for pouring and finishing, permit fees, and equipment rental (concrete mixer, vibrator, trowels). This calculator breaks down each category so you can see where your money goes.
Concrete costs vary by region but typically range from $120–$180 per cubic yard. Factors include the concrete mix design (standard vs. high-strength), additives (fiber, air entrainment), and local market conditions. Delivery fees of $100–$200 are common for smaller loads.
Labor costs for concrete work typically range from $3–$10 per square foot, depending on the complexity of the project. Simple slabs cost less, while decorative finishes, stamped concrete, or colored concrete cost more. Labor usually accounts for 40–60% of the total project cost.
Most jurisdictions require permits for concrete work that involves structural elements, driveways, sidewalks, or patios. Permit fees typically range from $50–$500 depending on the project scope and local building department rates. Always check with your local building authority before starting.
Common equipment rentals include concrete mixers ($50–$150/day), power trowels ($100–$200/day), concrete vibrators ($40–$80/day), and edging tools. For larger projects, you may need a concrete pump ($200–$500). Equipment costs typically represent 5–10% of the total project cost.
