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.

Understanding Volume Units

Cubic Yards (yd³)

Standard unit for ordering ready-mix concrete in the US. 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet.

Usage: Most common for concrete orders

Cubic Meters (m³)

Metric standard used internationally. 1 cubic meter = 35.31 cubic feet or 1.31 cubic yards.

Usage: International standard unit

Cubic Feet (ft³)

Smaller unit often used for precise calculations. 27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard.

Usage: Detailed measurements

Volume Calculator FAQ

To calculate cubic yards, multiply length × width × depth (all in feet), then divide by 27. For example: 10ft × 10ft × 0.5ft = 50 cubic feet ÷ 27 = 1.85 cubic yards. Our calculator handles the conversion automatically.

Cubic yards (yd³) is used in the US, while cubic meters (m³) is the metric standard. 1 cubic yard = 0.765 cubic meters, or 1 cubic meter = 1.308 cubic yards. Our calculator shows both units for convenience.

Divide cubic feet by 27 to get cubic yards. For example: 54 cubic feet ÷ 27 = 2 cubic yards. This is because 1 yard = 3 feet, and 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 cubic feet per cubic yard.

Yes, order 5-10% extra concrete to account for waste, spillage, and slight variations. Use the Reserve Volume field in our calculator to automatically add this buffer to your volume estimate.

Our calculator provides precise mathematical calculations based on your input dimensions. However, actual concrete needs may vary slightly due to ground conditions, forms, and other factors. Always verify measurements and consult professionals for critical projects.
