Orinoco Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Hi Guys Need some advice, got a drive way to sort out. Total square meters is 317, will be 10cm thick with wire mesh. 142 square meters is old busted 5cm concrete, to be taken up, the rest is virgin ground back filled over 20 years ago. Had a quote of 100,000 to do it all with ready mixed C-Pac concrete. Looks like about 316 baht a square meter. Does this sound about right or is it way off base? any one know ? Thanks Orinoco.

CharlieH Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Last C-Pac I bought for a similar job was a little while ago, paid around 1800 baht for 3 cube (1 full load). Yours at 317, by 4inch thick = 9m2, per cube, x 3 cube per lorry, 27 m2 317 /27 = 12 loads aprrox. Ring your local C-Pac and ask them what 12 loads will cost and go from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjinchiangrai Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 The demolition will be more than the concrete. The price does not sound bad for the work. What base are you thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I look at these kind of things and break down the costs. Remove old Concrete + prep for new JCB + small Truck 1 Day = 15 K baht 4 Guys @ 500 / day X 2 Days = 4 K baht Wire Mesh 2 Rolls at 1200 / per roll 2 . 4 K Concrete @ 1900 per cube = 7 cube X 1900 = 13 . 3 K 4 Guys X 1 Day @ 500 Day = 2 K Remove shuttering Etc 4 Guys X 1 Day @ 500 per Day = 2K Contractors Tool Fee = 10 K Total roughly 48.7 K 100 K would give the Team a good profit for about 4 days work in total. I would look for a quote of around 70 K Based on the work involved a good wedge and reasonable profit, I think this to be about a fair price Of course this is my view only and others will be along to offer advice also so wait out a little while 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What base are you thinking? thank you for your reply Was just going with compacted ground that's there, only. should only be one or two cars on it. Funny thing, is C-Pac truck and steal delivery trucks have busted what was left of the old drive way, so very easy to take up. on 50mm thick in the best place !!!!!!!!!!!

You should thank them for that. Breaking the old concrete can be a bitch. I would put down compacted sand and use 6mm deformed bar, I hate cracks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ground was filled 20 odd years ago, and in laws did the original concrete, very messy and very thin in places !!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my Buddha what a mess. just perfect for the rainy season !!!!!!!!

driver52 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 could you take the busted concrete up and just put some stones down instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an option as about 60% of the drive way is the in laws !!!!!!!!!!!!! so need to put it back the same as before ( will be better ). it's just one more cost of building the house, the list is getting long !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are of course correct - my Bad I was disturbed by Daughter with problem online learning - my apologies Therefore Concrete cost = 60,800 The amended amount would be just over 96 K But as pointed out 15 K for JCB+ truck seems possibly high 10 K Contractors tools - not sure this counts Still go for 90 K tops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
