Reinforced Concrete costs
Reinforced Concrete costs
(OP)
I'm looking for some reinforced concrete costs.....specifically I am looking to verify some numbers I typically use. (I've looked at some older threads and they are a bit dated. And I don't have RS Means (before anyone asks).)
I typically use:
$215/CY for slabs on grade [CY= cubic yard]
$300/CY for low-rise reinforced concrete frames (or mats) of moderate difficulty
$350-400/CY for taller, difficult RC frames (this includes situations where the ties are going to be a pain)
This is for the southeast (say for a city like Atlanta). And this includes re-bar, forming, concrete, stripping the forms, etc, etc......the whole thing except for earthwork and specialty items like joint material.
Thanks in advance.

e.g. Conventional elevated slab at $30/sf and PT slab at $25/sf are very dependent on span lengths and loading type. I have done PT slabs with spans from 20' to 50', and I can assure you the sf rates are very different.
RE: Reinforced Concrete costs
Your PT elevated slab price is low. I would use $35 min. per square foot. For conventional elevated slabs, $30/sf is reasonable.
Just ordered my 2018 R.S. Means so I'll check against that when it comes in, but I usually base my opinions of cost on actual bid price history for the projects we do, with a cross check with Means.
