Concrete delivery/pouring prices ?

Hello folks.

I'm planning on self building a shed/workshop but need concrete for a proper foundation. As i dont have a cement mixer (nor to be honest willing to mess about with mixing/shoveling this amount) i'd prefer someone to just deliver and pour it into the mold/frame i'll hammer at the location.

Looking to fill in apprx 6 by 4 meters, about 10-15cm thick, which according to my calculations is 3.6m3 (127cuft?).

What would it cost delivered/poured ?

Dungannon/Coalisland area. Any takers ?

    As a very rough estimate, I budget around £60 to £65 + VAT per cubic metre for structural concrete, delivered, for larger civil engineering projects. You might get stung with a "part load" charge, as a standard lorry holds 6m3. Best bet is to phone up your local readymix suppliers and get a couple of quotes.

    I put down foundations for a house and the concrete was £43 / sq metre
