Concrete Strength & Pricing Guide

Concrete prices vary based on strength requirements. Different PSI ratings (3000, 4000, 5000+) come with different costs to reflect material composition and performance characteristics.

Pricing Factors:

  • • Concrete strength and mix specifications
  • • Delivery distance and transportation fees
  • • Minimum order quantities and service charges

For current pricing in your area, contact local suppliers or visit American Concrete Institute.

Common Slab Applications

Floor Slabs

Ground floor slabs for residential and commercial buildings. Typically 4-6 inches thick.

Recommended thickness: 10-15cm (4-6 inches)

Garage Slabs

Heavy-duty slabs designed to support vehicle loads. Requires thicker concrete.

Recommended thickness: 15-20cm (6-8 inches)

Basement Slabs

Foundation slabs for basements and below-grade applications with moisture considerations.

Recommended thickness: 10-15cm (4-6 inches)

Slab Calculator FAQ

Slab thickness depends on the application: 4-6 inches (10-15cm) for residential floors, 6-8 inches (15-20cm) for garages and driveways, and 4-6 inches (10-15cm) for basement slabs. Always consult local building codes.

Multiply length × width × thickness to get volume. For example: 10ft × 12ft × 0.33ft (4 inches) = 39.6 cubic feet or 1.47 cubic yards.

C25 (3000 PSI) is suitable for most residential slabs. Use C30 (3500 PSI) or higher for heavy-duty applications like garage slabs or commercial floors.

Most slabs benefit from reinforcement. Use wire mesh or rebar for added strength, especially for larger slabs or those subject to heavy loads.

Order 5-10% extra concrete to account for waste, spillage, and slight variations in thickness. This calculator helps you get the base amount needed.
