pricing shotcrete

[Aquagenarian]

$200.00 a yard. (Shotcrete @ 4500 mix, 1.5 slump)
Choose your Shotcrete company wisely, not just on price.
Figure approximately 45 yard.

Is this still the price? I’ve seen 240-260 a yard in so cal. Do you have any recommendations for 200 a yard?

MOD note: moved from here: SoCal new build January 2023

Prices have been going up nonstop since then. $250-$300 now.

I paid $315/yard last summer for labor and material. Approximately $215/yard for winter mix since it was march, and $95/yard for labor. Plus a few miscellaneous other things.

Rock scape in paradise (RIP) is the only Shotcrete company I recommend and last job was at $270 a yard @ 4500 PSI

These are some of the prices being paid by contractors for concrete and then they have to mark it up and if you add on labor shooting the gunite/shotcrete, then that is going to be a lot more on top of the retail concrete price.

I have driven a concrete mixer for CEMEX in Santa Clara, California for 23 years. Our 3500 psi mix is $179 per yard with water reducer. But many of our mixes use chemicals such as plasticizer and are well over 5,000 psi. These are much more expensive. Plus $40 environmental charge per load since there is no washing down on job sites. We leave all jobs with dirty trucks and clean them at our plant. There is also a $42 fuel surcharge per load.

The company I drive a mixer for here in NE Oklahoma is up to $173 per yard for standard 3500 mix, more with various admixtures of course, our average contractor pricing is approx. $140/yard.

I'm in Erie Pennsylvania. Poured 8.5 yards of 4,000 psi yesterday. Here is cost break down.

1. 4000psi concrete $174.75 per yard delivered.

2 Hot water $5.00 per yard.

3. 2% Non-chloride $9.00 per yard.

4. Fiber mesh 300 $6.50 per yard

5. 6% tax

I use Piedmont Concrete in Farmington Hills, MI and this past summer they charged $153/cy + $125 for fuel/environmental + 6% sales tax. Great mix, no fly ash, and short load charges when 3 cy or less. Because this was significantly higher than the previous year, I priced out another big company (Superior Materials) with many locations and they were 20% more in cost and only 5 miles away.
