Ready Mix Concrete Brisbane vs On Site Mixing for Small Volume Concrete Jobs

Concrete is composed of a mixture of cement, sand, water, and aggregates such as gravel or crushed stone, and is specifically produced for customers’ construction projects. The mix designs for ready-mix concrete are created in the batching plant following component and admixture testing to determine the proportions of each material.

Concrete can be delivered in two ways. The first method is by using an in-transit mixer truck that delivers the concrete to the construction site where the chemical process has already commenced to cure the cement. The second method involves using concrete2u that delivers the concrete in a dry state and then mixes it on-site. The concrete is prepared under a controlled process by an experienced team to ensure high-quality results every time.

Let us look at some of the benefits of using concrete2u.

Why Chose Concrete2u Over Ready-Mix Concrete?

Significantly stronger concrete

The Concrete2u process requires less water during the batching process compared to a traditional drum truck. This helps to produce stronger concrete than a centralized batch applying the same ingredients but a different concrete mixing method.

Reduces consumption of cement by 10-12%

We handle the mixing process carefully to reduce the consumption of cement by up to 10-12%, both saving our clients money and reducing environmental pollution. If you are looking for the most efficient, cost-friendly method, then the Concrete2u process is the way to go.

Faster construction speed

Concrete2u is the best option for those with a tight schedule. The whole process is mechanized, speeding up your construction. As the materials are stored in separate containers, there is no need to worry about the concrete drying up. Our trucks can run all day and move efficiently between construction sites, getting your job done sooner.

Pours directly to the site

After it is produced on site the concrete may need to be bucketed or placed in wheelbarrows, depending what is requested by the customer.

Where possible the concrete can be poured directly from the truck into the trenches, holes and slabs making the job easier.

Mixed to your exact requirements

The process can mix your concrete to the desired requirements. The mix designs are based on the strength that you require for your building project. For instance, if you want to build a wall you need a stronger mix that will last longer. This is achieved by increasing the cement content in your mix design, producing stronger concrete. The more cement you use the stronger it will be, although higher strength comes at a price as well. If you would rather an economic option, then you can choose to lower your cement content and still have a good quality of concrete for a cheaper price.

What if I need more concrete?

When you order and pay for a specified amount from a ready-mix drum concept, that is the amount you get. At Concrete2u if you require an extra 1 or 2 wheelbarrows, no problem. Our process enables us to carry a bit extra ingredients just in case. We understand that some projects are difficult to calculate an exact volume required and if you have over-ordered, you still only pay for the amount you have used.

You can change aspects of the mix design

The best feature of concrete2u is that you can change aspects of the mix design at any time depending on your needs, even when the batching process has already started.
Just discuss your needs with the operator who will try their best to meet your request.

Best for small places

Concrete2u trucks can be manoeuvred into the tightest and smallest places. The unique size allows to get down the side of most houses making the job easier for the customer. Concrete2u understands that not every job is on level ground however, if access may be an issue for the bigger trucks, Concrete2u may just squeeze in. Give us a call to discuss any access issues you may consider to be a problem.
