Concrete is a construction material that is made of a combination of cement, water, aggregates and sometimes fibres and admixtures - depending on the requirements of the build.
Cement is an ingredient of concrete - they are not the same thing. Only a combination of cement with other materials, such as aggregates and water, will make concrete.
Readymix concrete is concrete that is pre-mixed prior to delivery. The mix is tailored to the needs of the customer - specifically the volume of concrete required, the type and the grade. This can save the client a lot of time, labour and cost as they don't need to mix the concrete on-site.
Concrete is measured by cubic metre. Typically one cubic metre of concrete will weigh roughly 2.4T/m3. To work out how many cubic metres you need for your construction job please use our concrete calculator.
The price of concrete can vary according to region and your requirements - there's rarely a fixed price. To accurately estimate a project we recommend using our concrete calculator to work out the volume required and request more information from our helpful sales team.
