Concrete price down any? TX?

[davo727]

Im wondering if anyone has bought any concrete lately? What did it run? Heard a rumor that it will be coming down in the near future.
Im in SE Tx. Will make a few calls tomorrow when concrete places are open.

In mid-August, I paid a local guy, $3200 for a 16 x 24 slab with 5000 psi.

Not sure if it will help. My price included escavation, form work and the pour. I am not sure of the amount of concrete in the poru. I had him do 18" beams and I had a 22" slope on the site.

Hi, Yeah im just looking at price per yard on concrete only. Will be doing prep, forms, rebar everything myself and a slave laborer or two- friends to help on the pour.

My son is a contractor, he just poured 10 yards with fiber at $90/yard. He did a 30 yd pour last month at $89/yard. But, those are negotiated prices, standard price in this area is $94/yd.

My last pour was in November '09, at $105/yard, 15 yards; previous to that, I poured 10 yards in my shop in Nov '08 at $109/yd, highest I've ever paid.

Prices are coming down. Just did a patio/sidewalk/floor @ $80 per yard. Was $100 not too long ago.....

I just deferred construction of a steel equipment building here when I found out how much the concrete work was going to be. The concrete was $180/yd delivered! I'd be happy to pay $100/yd...maybe I should move to Texas?

Wedge, I have no idea how it got double-posted. But, since it was not controversial, double is better than none.

Residentially, I have no problem (July '10, March '10, and August '09) getting a price of $1000 for a 10 yard truck. Sometimes I pay less, just less than $900 for a 10 yard truck. I am 2 miles from the batch plant.

Commercially, in the last 18 months, we can get negotiated prices in the range of $670-$750 per 10 yard truck when doing very large building slabs for shopping centers.
