Ready Mix Concrete Pricing – How it works?

Ready Mixed Concrete, or RMC as it is widely known as, is the faster, cheaper, and more efficient alternative for site mixed concrete or cement. It is preferred by most of the construction companies over cement because of its durability, strength, and easy to use nature. RMC is not mixed at the site like traditional cement. It is pre-mixed in batches at the plant and then delivered to the construction site. RMC requires less manpower and time to finish the construction. Since RMC is produced on controlled conditions, its quality is way better than cement. It reduces labour charges as there is no need for mixing at the site.

Let’s look at the detailed advantages of RMC:

Quality and Consistency

The best part about RMC is that it can be customised as per the requirement of the project. The construction process is easily sped up because the quality of materials used are significantly better than normal cement. Hand mixing and difference in the ratio of ingredients used made for a poor quality construction cement in the past. But with RMC, all these issues are easily solved.

Efficiency

Working with RMC is far more effective than typical cement. Traditionally, mixing concrete on the site required a lot of manpower and long hours. However, with the use of ready mix concrete, concreting can be done at the rate of 30-45 cubic metre per hour which is super-fast compared to traditional methods.

Eco-friendly

Preparation of cement onsite involved a lot of dust emission and pollution. It also leads to high noise pollution because of cement mixers. In ready mix concrete production, noise and air pollution are considerably reduced, making it environment friendly. In this day and age where all the big organizations are embracing sustainability as a policy, construction companies also need to step up their game and make it a mission to be as eco-friendly as possible.

Less Wastage

Consumption of cement and concrete is reduced by 10-12% due to better handling of raw materials and proper mixing ratios of ingredients. Another huge advantage of ready mix concrete is that it reduces the need for storage of raw materials at the construction site. It also reduces capital investment because there’s no need to hire machinery and additional labour to handle those machines.

Cost-effective

As mentioned earlier. Ready mix concrete brings down the cost substantially. Lesser capital investment, lower manpower, less machinery, higher consistency and quality lead to a construction material that is cost-effective yet durable.

Because of how versatile RMC is, its pricing also fluctuates based on a variety of criteria. The pricing of RMC is dependent on many factors like:

✦

The grade of RMC required

✦

Transportation cost for RMC

✦

Method of preparation- Site Mix concrete or Ready Mix Concrete

✦

Availability of sand and aggregate

The cost of concrete differs from grade to grade, which depends on how much cement is being used to create the mix. The cost of transportation and design of concrete also defines the final cost of concrete. Cost of concrete is decided on a per meter cube basis usually in India. Currently, the cost of concrete ranges anywhere between ₹4500 – ₹6500 from M20 to M55 grade of RMC. It also depends on the brand of Ready Mix Concrete and the nature of manufacturing.

Now that the advantages of Ready Mix Concrete are listed in detail, you can take an informed choice as to what to use for your next dream project.
