Ready Mix Concrete, Cubic Meter, Rs 3400/cubic meter, M10 to M50 Grade Standard.
The cost of concrete varies depending on its quality and quantity. If you want premium-quality concrete, then it will cost you more. Otherwise, if you go for ordinary concrete, then it won't cost you a lot. The rate also varies depending on the type of mixer used for mixing the concrete. The cost of mixing a cubic meter of concrete using a rotary drum mixer ranges from Rs 15,000 to 20,000, while a semi-automatic mixer costs around Rs 10,000 to 12,500.
The total cost of producing a cubic meter of concrete includes the cost of materials as well as other operational expenses such as labor and equipment rental. In addition, there is a variable cost associated with the amount of time it takes to mix a cubic meter of concrete. This overall cost can be divided into two parts: the direct cost and the indirect cost. The direct cost consists of the purchase price of the ingredients as well as other expenses related to production such as delivery fees and taxes. The indirect cost comprises of expenses not directly tied to the production of one cubic meter of concrete such as wages and utility bills.

In this post, we'll look at the components used to make a conventional 1 cubic metre concrete mix, assisting you in understanding the basic constituents of concrete and how they interact with one another. A concrete mixer is an important tool for mixing the right amount of water with its corresponding amount of cement and other additives to create a slurry that will harden into concrete.
Concrete is made up of two main ingredients: cement and gravel/sand. Concrete needs calcium oxide to set into stone, so some type of cement is required. There are two main types of cement: ordinary portland cement and high-performance cements. Ordinary portland cement is the most commonly used type of cement because it's affordable and has good mechanical properties (e.g., durability). High-performance cements have higher calcium carbonate contents and chemical admixtures that improve their strength and workability. These cements are more expensive but last longer.
You also need to add water and aggregate to your mix. Water is a component that needs to be added in the correct proportion to ensure that your mix is fluid enough to pour but not so much that it becomes difficult to handle. Aggregate is the term given to any material that is mixed with cement to make concrete. This could be fine sand or coarse gravel.
