Material Requirements
Concrete: 0.00m × 0.00m × 0.000m = 0.000 m³
Gravel Base: 0.00m × 0.00m × 0.080m = 0.000 m³
Material Costs
Cost Breakdown
Example Calculation
Standard Residential Driveway
Dimensions: 100m × 4m × 15cm deep
Concrete Volume: 100 × 4 × 0.15 = 60 m³
Gravel Base: 100 × 4 × 0.08 = 32 m³
Rebar Grid: 30cm spacing, 8cm edge spacing
Material Quantities
Concrete: 60 m³ × €90/m³ = €5,400
Gravel: 32 m³ × €15/m³ = €480
Rebar: 2,556m × €2/m = €5,112
Forms: 208m × €0.8/m = €166
Total Project Cost
Materials Total: €11,158
Cost per m²: €27.90
Note: Labor costs not included (typically 50-100% of material cost)
Concrete Types
Standard Concrete
3000-4000 PSI - General driveways
High-Strength
4000+ PSI - Heavy-duty applications
Fiber-Reinforced
With fibers - Crack resistance
Decorative
Colored/stamped - Aesthetic appeal
Depth Guidelines
Construction Tips
Compact gravel base thoroughly
Install rebar grid for reinforcement
Use proper concrete mix design
Add control joints every 3-4 meters
Ensure proper drainage slope (1-2%)
Cure concrete properly (7-28 days)
Understanding Concrete Driveway Costs
Why Choose Concrete?
Concrete driveways offer excellent durability, longevity, and low maintenance. They can last 25-30 years with proper installation and provide a clean, professional appearance that adds value to your property.
Cost Factors
- •Material quality and concrete strength
- •Reinforcement requirements (rebar, fiber)
- •Site preparation and excavation needs
- •Decorative finishes and stamping
Calculation Formulas
Concrete: Length × Width × Depth
Rebar Length: Grid rows + Grid columns
Total Cost: Materials × Unit Prices
- Typical Costs: $80-150 per m³ concrete
- Rebar: $1-4 per meter
- Labor: 50-100% of material cost
- Total Project: $50-120 per m²
