Looks well pink. Great set up dave! Thats porn to me. Lll yep £75 a meter. After seeing local diggers i think he can see the potential work wants to get more, so im good with that.

£75 per metre delivered?
is that volumetric or readymix?
i cant see how he can do it for that TBH
nice work pinky,are they limestone?
nice paving mark, did the client ask you to breach the 150mm rule?
i would have preferred a feature step there ,but the client is always right eh?

The existing paving was at 1 brick below damp,same all around house,he's a retired civil engineer so knows the trade, in this area the are alot of houses at 1 below damp,to reduce it would be more work than enough ,free draining ground so no standing water, but at the end off the day he requested to replace line and leval so that's what we did MSH

We can get c35 at £68/m if we order over 50m in one pour
Last year we did about 340m3 of concrete through Cemex or our local mini mix, I was going through invoices and noted out of interest
Local mini mix is gerenerally 120 a metre on say 3m delivery c35
