Ordering premixed concrete involves more than just making a call—timely planning and precise details are essential so use a concrete calculator. Follow these five tips to ensure a smooth process:
Order Early: Place your order at least a week in advance to guarantee availability and accommodate any testing requirements.
Accurate Quantity: Always base your concrete volume on on-site measurements, considering variations like slab thickness and sub-grade levels.
Choose the Right Mix: Specify strength, slump, and aggregate size for optimal results. For higher strength or special mixes, consult your supplier.
Placement Method: Provide details about how the concrete will be placed, such as using a pump or chute, to align production with delivery.
Tracking & Communication: Stay updated on your delivery using tracking tools and ensure clear communication about delivery specifics like site access as you may need a mini mix.
By keeping these factors in mind, you’ll streamline the process and achieve a better outcome for your project.
