    thanks

    Where are these places located? And, you are asking about pouring concrete. Correct? If yes, then what type of concrete is it about which you are asking, please? I'm not saying that someone will be able to give you an exact answer here, but maybe so. I don't know. However, it would help if there was a little more detail in your question. Thank you!

    Is this flat work?

    What is the area to be done(square footage)

    And as Clough asked, where are you located?

    Mostly we charged the going rate per location(country rates were different than intercity rates)

    Thank you for pointing out those things, KBC! Just to give as examples, what might be some rates around where you have worked? Let's say that it is flat work and that the square footage is 100 sq ft.

    Also, was I correct in asking about a type of concrete?

    Thank you! :)

    Types are along the lines of 'per bag' mixes, a typical sidewalk mix is say a 4 or 5 bag mix, driveways are like a 5-7 bag mix, etc

    Even a 100 sq foot job would require? what? For forming, grading, etc

    I was never content with a generic bid number per foot.

    Thanks for the answer!

    So, what is the difference between a 4 or 5 bag mix as compared to a 5 to 7 bag mix, other than just the difference in numbers?

    The bag mix is a rating of psi,the harder(more psi) the greater the load on the surfaces,highway concrete is a very high bag mix, for durability(and code) warehouses(typically with heavy equipment like forklifts and such) are also very high bag mixes, sidewalks on the other hand will almost never get the weight a driveway will so need less psi rating.

    I got a response from a concrete contractor locally, he stated between $3.00 and $4.00 per square foot depending on many factors,including winter forming and grading.

    Hope this answers the op.

    Thanks for the answer, Ken!

    So, since 9 square feet ='s a square yard, that means that the possible price for 1 square yard might be $27.00 - $36.00 from a local contractor near you, depending on many factors, as you have indicated.

    I too, hope that this is helpful to the original poster.

    Well I think you should call the concrete companies in your area for the cost per cu yd, or call some concrete finishers to see what they charge. If you do not know of anyone that finishes concrete, ask the concrete company, I am sure they will know of someone.

    CLOUGH< KEN<MOWERMAN< - The best way to say and the way that I have ordered concrete wasby the spects for the job , from common exper. knowledge all over the states was like, 2500lb. 3500lb. 5000lb.mix. A lot of places you call if you say 5 bag mix it blowes there mind, what did you say about kind of concrete , we sell it by poundage only!! HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERY ONE , P.S. COST per yard differs from place to place, do as they all have said above, :::: F.B.E.
