    Dublin area ? also who was the supplier ?
    Thanks


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 106 ✭✭Goll Mac Morna


    Not the Dublin area.

    Just get out the yellow pages and look up local suppliers. ROADSTONE being a nationwide company will give you an idea of price (I didn't buy from them BTW).

    After ringing a Dublin depot or Dublin company why not ring some from outside Dublin to compare prices.

    All you need to do is ring up and say "Can you give me a price for Concrete (25 Newton strength for foundations) per m3? " and they will tell you, that's all there is to it.

    If you can get a company recomended by a friend, family member or work colleague all the better.
    Ask around.

    Foundations should probably be higher strength, 30-35N. I get the impression it's more about quality than absolute strength.

    Cost in Roadstone in Mayo are:
    25N 75 Euro
    30N 78 Euro
    35N 81 Euro

    Be aware that if you are gettign less than a full load that you will have to pay an extra charge.

    Its been 4 years now since anyone posted in this thread and I just wanted to know if there was much of a difference in the price of concrete these days per m3.

    Also what Netwons would I need. Im putting down a base which I will be putting my mobile crane up on?

    30n cost me €77 per m3 recently from Rhyne Rock in Longford.
    I believe in the North West that Roadstone have significantly dropped their prices in the last month and can supply the above for €70.

    i got a price for concrete from the cronin group in cork last week 35n for 75 plus vat. anyone else got a price


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8 AutoKadett


    Not yet but I'll be after a load of cement (concrete) soon. Till reading this I had no idea what to expect for prices. It would be handy to get this thread going again for more recent prices! :D

    Just wondering tho, what does 35n mean exactly?
    What **n would be needed for general car parking and stuff?
    And does M3 mean Meters Cubed?
    What area in Meters Squared would a M3 cover?

    Sorry for being thick! :rolleyes:

    Think you mean a load of Concrete - not cement! :confused:

    35N means the concrete's compressive strength of 35N/mm2 @ 28 days old. This is on the target strength measured by crushing a concrete cube sample taken when the concrete is batched / poured @28 days.

    Yes, M3 means metres cubed. The square meterage coverage depends on the depth you intend to pour it at. e.g. at 100mm deep, 1m3 will cover 10m2.

    For a standard driveway / carparking, a 25N mix should be sufficient but I would recommend at least 100mm deep of concrete (light traffic only!). Also, 1 layer of A142 reinforcing mesh should be placed to prevent cracking of the concete.

    Hi there,

    Anyone got a more recent data on the cost of concrete per cubic meter.

    Thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 6 carnotcycle


    25N cost €58/m3 in County Carlow if thats of help to anyone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8 AutoKadett


    Cheers mate, thats a nice price. Shame Carlow is miles away from me. I still haven't priced it local to myself (Kinnegad area). When I do I'll be sure to update :)

    Living in Carlow and need 2.5 cubic metres for a base of a dog run, 15 Newton probably do as absolutely no weight on it.

    Just wondering where you got that quote and do you know who might do deliveries of only 2.5m^3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 378 ✭✭KCTK


    Just to get this going again!! Need a few load of 35N, any ideas of price at the moment before I go ringing around?

    I got 2.5 cubic metres on Monday delivered to my house in the Carlow area for €200, so roughly €80 a cubic metre!

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 573 ✭✭✭Syllabus


    i got a price from Cemex

    the min cost is 170 delivered

    so whether you only want half a meter and a full meter the price is the same


    rip off

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 61 ✭✭Kangoo Man


    Just bought concrete in Carlow

    Morrissey's were looking for €300 for 3 cubic metres delivered
    Ended up buying 2 cubic meters from Kilcarrig for €210 delivered

    Ended up needing another .25 cubic metre which we made up ourselves, note to others, always buy more than you think you need, it's easy to use up surplus by making up a step for a garden shed etc...

    Hi
    Just got an idea to built an extension on rear. Before I will get quotations would anyone suggest me about foundation.
    How many readymix concrete I need for an extension of 40 sq m.
    Would supplier have chance to deliver the concrete on the back garden through out alley.
    Is there roughly price for labor-just for foundation.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9 sneachta2000


    Hi
    What about small jobs, roughly 10m2? Do those big companies come out?

    Also is it up to yourself to have the layers of hardcore and sand etc down first!

    Sorry for resurrecting this post from such a long time

    You will have to workout the m3 value to start with, and yes you will have to have the hardcore ready as they will just turn up and pour.

    It's been a long time since this thread was started...

    I'm looking for 2.8 (so lets say 3) cubic meters and was quoted at €400.

    Seems to be far, far more than anything mentioned previously here.

    Plus another €280 for the pump. (it's for back patio, so would need to be piped through the house).

    Seems a bit steep considering previous posts had it at €50-70m3 - ie. €150-210.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,810 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    Did you look at the dates on those 50 - 70 prices?

    I'm also looking for prices currently - there was some interesting info on this thread.

    Also, is it possible to get something added to concrete so it is not that brilliant white colour when set? Not a particular colour, just less eye-watering.

    Just paid €800ish for 8m3 delivered in Dublin. Driver arrived 1.5hours late, so it will cost me an extra for the 2 guys hanging around waiting
