How To Do A Basic Concrete Floor Estimate (Bidding Concrete Jobs) What To Charge

#Concretefloorestimate #Biddingconcretejobs #Mikedayconcrete
This video will show you how to do a basic residential concrete floor estimate. When I bid a concrete job for a client, I am responsible for estimating the cost of materials and labor. This video will show you how I figure the cost of my materials per square foot and how I add that to my labor rate for a final estimate.

I like how you explain even the basic stuff when you do your videos, even for seasoned contractors, it's never bad to review, thanks for all your hard work and the valuable info!

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks Drew!

[@mingthemerciless6855]

Excellent tutorial on estimating.This type of informational training is a long time coming. If I wasn't retired I'd start my own business thanks to you.

Thank you Mike!

Mike you are the best man to learn from I've been pouring for over 20 years but i still learn watching you..you are the best

Thanks Evan!

These are comparable skills needed in whatever discipline of trade. I call this for your trade, take off skills for electrical basics. Young guys (apprentices) want to automation and the hi-tech stuff. Power, lighting, basic diagrams they don't want! They want to jump to the engineer' s level without the apprentice experience. Man these skills are critical for any discipline in the form the basics take. ie concrete take off and calculation skills for your trade, electrical diagrams for us etc. I think you get the concept and communicate it so well!! Wow thanks for this insightful look into this important issue!!

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks John!

[@frankwhite1328]

Great video Mike! I knew of 3 different formulas to order concrete, but I have to say I haven't heard that one. Just dividing it by 81 if its 4 inch, 60 if its 6 id assume. Seems like the easiest way! I like to do it at least 2 ways, but now it'll be 3 ways haha thanks buddy.

been subscribed for a couple weeks now, and this is where I struggle. I'm talking with some friends that have businesses in other areas of my state but getting info from people like you that have been in the game a lot longer is awesome too.

Thanks Mike I love your show I’m a mechanic and I work on concrete equipment it’s nice to know the other side of the business in the field besides your experience and wisdom help me to install my first slab to perfection, thanks… It’s the beauty of KZbin and sharing information, wish I would’ve had this stuff 20 years ago anyway I was curious about what goes under concrete in the way of foam and vapor barriers maybe you can get into it in the future episode… Keep on rockin…

[@jaredmace9917]

Great video Mike! I was surprised when you said 1 yard of concrete cost $125 a yard. Here in West Virginia you have Central charging $220 a yard.

[@codycowles743]

Hey mike I just recently started watching your videos and I love watching them. I’m still young but I’m 23 and I’ll be 24 this year I have been pouring concrete since I was 13. I’m looking to try and go out on my own within the next year or so. I just love this kind of work and really don’t want to be doing anything else. I’ve worked a lot of residential and commercial concrete work. But one question I have is how do you know what kind of concrete mix to order for each pour. I’ve worked this a lot but I have never actually made a order for concrete myself. Really that’s about the only thing I’m not a 100% sure of. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

[@thedude5-6]

Always go higher psi than the plans call for so when you get a job that require sample you'll be above the requirements and won't have to tear it out. We almost exclusively use pea gravel mix and rebar if there's no rebar we add fiber mesh and pour 3500 psi especially if we are using a pump they add water so the pump doesn't jam this takes down the psi rating so cover your self and start with a higher psi so you don't have issues

[@sirthecraftsman1998]

Mike, just curious. What is your markup to cover your overhead and profit. I found out the hard way last year I wasn't charging enough for my work, not saying your doing that. Then I found a perfect book that taught me that I wasn't charging near enough to cover my overhead, let alone make a profit. Just curious that's all. Hope to here from you

[@broketackle]

Mike. I think what your doing for folks is great. A lot of guys don’t care to help others. I’ve been doing concrete with my mom and dad for 20 plus years and they don’t care to help anyone. I’m not like that at all. Love what your doing to help others get a jump start in concrete. For some of us it’s in our blood. The others just don’t know better!!🤣🤣🤣. Thanks Mike. Always watching and supporting.

Does the extra concrete that you figured in also cover the footing all along the perimeter of the foundation? Or is there a separate formula to figure that out 🤔 I’m trying to learn this stuff myself.

[@gauravvij67]

Of course not, I guess that's extra! US building is Mickey mouse I'm surprised all this doesn't crack and fall apart. Thats 3mm wire specced with no wire chairs and hoping it's lifted when poured. No wire in the house floor which is connected to the vertical walls ( crazy). In Europe the foundation footing is poured and then the floor is floating relative to the foundation and would have 6mm wire on 50mn chair 4 inch concrete. On top of that later insulation would be put 150mm and then a second floor poured over that 1 inch concrete. Much better built and better insulated , the insulation is 6inch versus the 2 if it has that at all.

Great job Mike! if they are not teaching this in a vocational setting, we are doing our future a disservice. This type of thinking can be applied to a variety of professions! I always add roughly 10% because digging a trench isn’t high tech! As I was typing this I heard you covering it! Lol 🤣

That same exact job in the state of Oregon would be $10-$13 per square foot pump is added extra... Usually $350 for the first 10 yards. You had 2240sqft...so obviously it would start at $22,400 plus the pump.All concrete guys here fine grade themself. nobody here leaves it up to an excavation guy they just don't get the grade close enough it needs to be within a quarter of an inch.

Mike I've been in the concrete field for about 4yrs now. I started out running a breakout crew doing sidewalk for a cable company. I also ran dump trucks to and from recycling yards. That job ran it's course. Now I am working with another company basically laboring. I want to move towards finishing, I've done some and I'm not bad for a beginner. What and when do I ask for more in my paycheck? Today alone I ran 3yrds by barrel. I'm 54 and as much as I enjoy being fit to do so not sure how long I'll be able to do it.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

When you learn a new skill you can do without someone checking on you, that makes you more valuable to them. The more finishing skills you can do makes you real valuable. Everyone is looking for those guys. Show up on time, don't complain, have a good attitude, don't have to be told what to do, and you're skilled at your craft. Then you can ask for more.

I'd say I'm already looking to pay more when someone shows consistent initiative to learn new skills. I can coach and develop skills, realistically I can't cultivate a growth mindset. "Hey boss I'd like to learn XYZ so I can be better for you and the team. Which job coming up would be good for me to jump in and shadow someone?" If you have even a half decent boss his or her ears should instantly perk up. I can't wait for the skills to develop, because they will take them elsewhere.

81 is how many sq ft 1 yard of concrete will do at 4" thick. Just an easy way of figuring yards for 4" floors.

because a cubic yard is 27 cubic feet and a cubic foot is 3 square feet at four inches thick.

[@salvatoremattiaccio946]

Hi Mike, I pretty much do my material calculations the same way you do. I figure materials , labor costs, and I also figure in delivery costs, overhead and profit.. Here is what you are missing in your estimate for the project; 1. Overhead costs 2. Profit on the job. 3. Delivery costs, our suppliers here in New Jersey charge about $250.00 per truckload of concrete delivery, do they charge that in Maine? If so, it wasn’t included in your estimated costs. Do you already include these fees in your materials and labor costs? You didn’t mention it if you did .

Hi there, how do you factor for demo & hauling when you need to remove existing concrete and excavate soil to have room for baserock underneath?
