Concrete Prices

There are various stories on how due to Katrina and the Chinese building boom are driving up the cost of building materials, particularly steel and concrete.

3 Questions:

  • How much are you paying for an 80 pound bag of concrete?

  • Where are you located?

  • Are you absorbing the increase costs or are you passing the costs on?


  • Post below in the comment section.

    - Thanks, Gene

    We don't use bags of concrete. We bulk buy sand, gravel, and cement and mix with a trailer setup. cost is about the same as truck mixed concrete without the minimum delivery if we use less than 3 yards. Around $75/yd.

    Here in Orlando an 80 # bag is just under $4, however last year around this time it was less than $3.

    Sorry we missed you at FenceTech, I came by your booth a couple of times on Thursday but nobody was home :-( Oh well maybe next year!
