The concrete estimate template, with its line items listed

What’s on a concrete estimate

Every line is one part of the concrete job, priced on its own so the client can see what each part of the job costs.

Line itemUnitWhy it’s its own line
Saw-cut and demolish existing concrete slabper sq ftBreaking out old concrete is heavy work with its own disposal cost, priced by area.
Concrete debris haul-out and jobsite cleanupper sq ftBroken concrete is heavy to haul. Listing it explains a cost clients don’t expect.
Excavate and grade subgrade for flatworkper sq ftGrading depends on the site, not on the slab, so it’s priced on its own.
Compacted gravel base courseper sq ftThe base under the slab is hidden once it’s poured. A line shows it’s there.
Slab edge formwork with 2x4 lumberper linear ftForms are measured around the edge in linear feet.
Rebar grid reinforcement for slabper sq ftReinforcement is a choice the client can see on paper but not once it’s poured.
Place and screed 4 in concrete slabper sq ftPlacing concrete is priced by area at a set thickness; a thicker slab is a different price.
Broom finish and cure concrete flatworkper sq ftThe finish is its own step, and decorative finishes cost more than broom.
Saw-cut control joints in slabper linear ftControl joints guide where the slab cracks, measured by the foot.
Apply penetrating concrete sealerper sq ftSealing is optional and often done later. Its own line keeps it a choice.
How to fill it in

Your concrete estimate in four steps

  1. 1

    Add your details

    Put in your business name, phone, email and license number once, and save the file as your master copy.

  2. 2

    Measure the job

    Measure flatwork in square feet at its thickness and the edges in linear feet. For ordering, convert to cubic yards: square feet times thickness in feet, divided by 27.

  3. 3

    Price each line

    Enter a quantity and your unit price on each line the job needs, in square feet and linear feet. Delete the lines you don’t need and add any that are missing.

  4. 4

    Send it for a signature

    Read the terms, fill in the blanks, save it as a PDF and send it. The client signs the acceptance line before you start.

How concrete jobs are priced

Concrete flatwork is quoted by the square foot but built from cubic yards. A slab’s area times its thickness gives the volume, and the concrete is ordered and priced by the yard, often with a short-load charge when the pour is small. The template keeps flatwork in square feet at a stated thickness, the way homeowners compare driveway and patio bids, so write the thickness into the line.

Most of a slab’s cost is in what happens before the truck shows up: demolition and haul-off, excavation, gravel base, forms and reinforcement. Each is its own line because each depends on the site. Tearing out an old driveway costs far more than forming a patio on bare ground.

Finishing, control joints and sealing come last. A broom finish is the standard for outdoor flatwork; stamped and colored finishes are priced separately per square foot. Weather can move a pour date, so put your rescheduling terms in writing.

Terms already on the template

Fill in the blanks, or change them to match how you work.

  • This estimate is valid for 30 days.
  • Slab thickness: ____ in. Concrete is ordered by the cubic yard; a short-load charge applies to small pours.
  • Concrete can crack; control joints are placed to guide cracking, and hairline cracks are not defects.
  • Pour dates depend on the weather and may be rescheduled.
  • A deposit is due at signing; the balance is due on completion.

Concrete estimate template FAQ

01Is this concrete estimate template free?
Yes. Download the PDF, Word or Excel file and use it for as many jobs as you like. There’s no sign-up.
02Why are the prices blank?
Prices for concrete work depend on your area, your suppliers and your crew, so the template lists the work and its unit and leaves the quantities and prices to you. In the Excel version, each line, the subtotal, the tax and the total calculate themselves once you fill them in.
03Can BuildWell price the estimate for me?
Yes, with a subscription. Describe the job by voice, text or photos and BuildWell lists the line items, prices materials at stores near the job (checked within 30 days) and labor at your metro’s median wage for each trade, plus your overhead and markup. It costs $7.99 a week or $79.99 a year after a 3-day free trial.
04Should concrete be priced per square foot or per cubic yard?
Quote per square foot at a stated thickness; that’s how clients compare bids. Order and cost your concrete per cubic yard: square feet times thickness in feet, divided by 27.
05Why are demolition and the base separate lines?
They depend on the site, not the slab. Two identical patios can cost very different amounts when one replaces an old slab and the other goes on bare ground.
06Do I need to list the reinforcement?
It helps. Rebar, wire mesh and fiber cost different amounts and clients ask about them. Naming the reinforcement shows what’s in the slab once it’s covered.
