Concrete Driveway Estimate Example

About this example

This example is the estimate a concrete contractor in Tennessee gives homeowners who want to replace a cracked asphalt driveway with concrete. It covers tear-out and haul-away, grading and a compacted stone base, 920 square feet of 4,000 psi fiber concrete with rebar on chairs and a thickened street apron, saw-cut and expansion joints, sealing and the city permit.

Homeowners rarely see what is under a driveway, so this estimate shows it: a specification table, a cross-section of the slab and base, and a plan with dimensions, slope and control joints, with a plain explanation of why concrete cracks and how the joints control it. Three finishes are priced side by side, and the costs are itemized in four sections, with concrete by the yard. A weather-aware schedule, care tips for the first month and every year, payments that start only when work starts, and honest terms on quantities and cracks complete it.

Who it is for

Concrete, paving and hardscape contractors who estimate driveways, patios, garage floors and sidewalks for homeowners and builders.
