What Does Ready-Mix Concrete Cost?

Ready-mix concrete pricing depends on several factors specific to your project. While an exact quote requires a conversation with our team, here's what typically drives the cost of a delivery:

Factors That Affect Ready-Mix Concrete Price

  • Mix design and strength (PSI): Standard 3,000 PSI residential mixes cost less than high-strength 5,000+ PSI commercial specs. Specialty mixes like fiber-reinforced, colored, or flowable fill each carry different pricing.
  • Order volume (cubic yards): Larger orders typically have a lower per-yard cost. Most suppliers have a minimum order — at Superior Ready Mix, we work with projects of all sizes across our 24 batch plants.
  • Delivery distance: The farther the job site from the batch plant, the higher the delivery charge. With plants across San Diego, Riverside, and Imperial counties, we keep haul times — and costs — down.
  • Scheduling and timing: Saturday deliveries, short-load fees, and wait-time charges can all affect your final price. Planning ahead helps keep your concrete estimate on budget.
  • Additives and admixtures: Accelerators, retarders, water reducers, and other admixtures add to the base price but can save money on labor by improving workability and cure time.
