Concrete Material Cost Calculator (per m³)
Estimate the material cost of one cubic metre of concrete. Enter the quantities (or arrive here from the mix calculator with them pre-filled) and your local rates. Sand and aggregate can be priced per cft, cum, tonne or kg — they convert automatically using bulk density.

Cost summary
Notes
Concrete quantities are on a saturated surface-dry (SSD) basis from the mix design. Sand and coarse aggregate are commonly sold by volume (cft or cum) or by tonne; converting the design mass to a volume needs the material's bulk density, which varies with the source and how it is loaded — the defaults (sand ≈ 1600 kg/m³, coarse aggregate ≈ 1500 kg/m³) are typical starting values, so use your supplier's figure where known. 1 m³ = 35.3147 cft. Cement is taken at 50 kg per bag.
