Why Should I Choose Ready Mix Concrete?
- Ready mixed concrete is a more economical choice compared to premixed bags. It saves time, labour and avoids the need for storage and equipment for on-site mixing.
- Ready mixed concrete is easy to schedule for delivery, avoids the mess and health risks of mixing on-site, and is tailored to your specific needs for the project.
5 reasons to choose ready mix concrete over premixed concrete bags
Ready mix concrete offers the perfect mix of efficiency and easy pouring that is crucial to every construction project. You may be laying a shed base or foundations for an entire estate of new-build homes; whatever the case, you’ll want the right grade of concrete for the job, delivered to site on time and mixed professionally.
1. Readymix is the economical choice
Choosing not to mix on-site yourself saves time, labour and puts the job of mixing in the hands of the experts. You won’t need the equipment and materials used to mix your own concrete, meaning less initial outlay. There will also be less of a need for storage for the mix, aggregates, mixer – the list goes on.
Also, there’s no chance that a batch will go wrong, as it’s being delivered to site after being expertly mixed using computerised batching machinery.
2. It’s easy to schedule
With a chosen delivery slot, timed perfectly to fit in your schedule, you won’t have to give hours over to mixing the concrete yourself. What with the unpredictability of this process, you’ll have to alot a large chunk of time, rather than knowing when your concrete will be ready en masse. Better time management means a construction project that runs smooth and stress free.
3. It’s durable
Because your ready mix concrete is manufactured under controlled conditions using the finest ingredients available, your concrete will be as strong and durable as can be. In other words, your concrete has been designed and tested over many decades to endure severe weather conditions, be abrasion resistant and provide industry standard strength.
4. It’s tailored to your needs
The ability to tailor your concrete mix to its application is another time saver and again leaves the important job of the mixing to the experts. You can specify certain concretes, such as self-consolidating and structural, or even ask the advice of the supplier to take into account their recommendations for your project.
5. It’s safer
Bagged cement is notorious for releasing tiny particles of cement dust into the air. Without the correct PPE worn at all times, this dust can be irritable not only to the lungs but to the skin, too. By using ready mix concrete, you won’t have to worry about this aspect of health and safety, one that’s difficult to monitor. Instead, you’ll have concrete delivered in bulk, wet and ready to pour.
