Unlike other concrete options, ready-mixed concrete is manufactured in a factory according to a specifically engineered formula. It’s then delivered to a construction site ready to pour. Here are a few reasons to choose this option over premixed concrete bags.

Why You Should Use Ready-Mixed Concrete

1. It’s Less Wasteful

By choosing ready-mixed, you have more control over how much concrete is delivered to your site, reducing the amount of unused bags. Rather than under or overestimate, you can spend less money by ordering only the amount you need when you need it. Plus, there’s less risk of creating a bad batch since it’s mixed off-site by experienced workers in a controlled setting.

2. It’s High Quality

When you or your workers have to mix the concrete on-site, there’s room for error, and the quality of batches can vary. Ready-mixed concrete is created using a precise formula and procedure so that every batch is the same. The process also allows you to request certain ingredients or results, such as structural concrete, to better suit the project.

3. It’s Safer For Your Workers

Ready-mixed concrete requires workers who are trained to drive, mix, and set cement, and they have special equipment and gear for the task. On-site workers usually have multiple duties that can distract them from following the best safety protocol. In addition, bagged cement is extremely dusty. If your workers don’t wear the right protective gear, these dust particles can settle on the skin and in the lungs, causing irritation and illness.
