foundations - moving concrete etc
wrote:
I will be needing readymix concrete for my foundations, 3 sides of a
4x5m rear extension, average depth 1m (some a bit deeper towards
sewer), about 8m3 of concrete in all. I understand this means 2 trucks.
I have never seen convoys of trucks in the surrounding streets where
extensions are being built, but never mind.
Access is a narrowish (for a cement mixer !) rear entry which has gates
to be unlocked, or a 4 foot wide side entry into the garden.
What are my options / prices / suppliers for this ?
In other words, what is standard practice for this type of job ?
Barrowing 8m^3 is a large, but not huge job.
Say it's what, 20 tons, at 100Kg/barrow, that's 200 trips.
Or 6 hours at a minute per leg of the trip.
