What the template covers
The template is a single-page worksheet with these lines:
- Job details: client, address, date, and project type
- Dimensions: length, width, thickness, and total square feet
- Volume: cubic yards after waste
- Material: ready-mix yards or bag count and price
- Delivery: trucking and any short-load fee
- Labor: forming, pouring, finishing
- Extras: reinforcement, gravel base, sealing, pump if needed
- Subtotal, tax, and total
How to fill it in
- Measure and record the dimensions. Length, width, and thickness in feet. Convert inches to feet first, so 4 inches is 0.333.
- Work out the volume. Multiply the three dimensions for cubic feet, divide by 27 for cubic yards, and add 5 to 10 percent for waste. Or let the concrete cost estimator do it and copy the yards across.
- Fill in material. Enter your delivered price per yard, or the bag count and bag price for a small pour.
- Add delivery and fees. Include the short-load fee if you are under the truck minimum.
- Add labor and extras. Forming, finishing, base prep, and anything the job needs beyond the pour.
- Total it. Add the lines, apply tax, and you have your estimate.
Estimate or quote?
Fill this in for yourself and it is a working estimate that keeps your ordering honest. Hand a signed version to a client and it becomes a quote, so be clear about what is and is not included, and note how long the price holds. Prices for concrete move with cement and fuel costs, so a short validity window protects you.
For the math behind each line, see the concrete estimate guide, and for current rates to plug in, see how much does concrete cost. If you bid jobs full time, concrete estimating software can replace this sheet.
