Tips on Estimating Precast Concrete Costs from RSMeans

Get the latest 2010 cost data now!

Precast concrete quantities are taken off in either square feet or by the piece, depending on usage and the type of unit being considered. The cost of hauling precast concrete structural members is often an improtant factor. For this reason, it is important to get a quote from the nearest supplier. It may become economically feasible to set up precasting beds on the site if the hauling costs are prohibitive.
