Volumetric concrete delivery is increasing in popularity and is becoming an ever more
popular alternative to traditional drum mixed concrete. This is the case for both domestic and
commercial construction alike.

Volumetric concrete is mixed on site when it arrives at your project site. This enables the
concrete to be fresh each time and delivered exactly when you require it.

Using volumetric concrete has many advantages and here we will delve into a few and why
we feel volumetric concrete is a great alternative to traditional concrete mixing methods.

One of the main key benefits for construction companies using volumetric concrete is that
you will only pay for what you use. You cannot over order or indeed under order with
volumetric concrete. With premixed concrete you will be charged for a set amount of
concrete which will be assigned to your job. The issue here is that if you then need more you
will have to arrange and pay for another delivery. Miscalculating and over ordering also
mean you are paying for concrete you are not using, and you will also need to arrange
disposal.

Using volumetric concrete is much more cost effective in this aspect as the concrete is
mixed on site meaning you will not have an issue of shortage or over ordering. You will only
pay for the concrete that you use.

Another benefit of volumetric concrete is that you will be able to change the mix if needed
depending on the needs of the project with ready mix concrete this can not be done. This
means volumetric concrete is much more flexible to the requirements of projects and
adaptations can be made easily if necessary. This also goes for any unforeseen weather
changes the mix hasn’t been made until the concrete is on site meaning that that concrete is
not wasted if if can not be used due to weather difficulties.

Volumetric concrete is also useful if you need different mixes for different aspects of your
project you can have different mixes made up using the volumetric truck. If using ready
mixed separate trucks would be required for each mix increasing costs.

The quality of the concrete from a volumetric mix is also always fresh as it is mixed there
and then on site meaning you have a high-quality concrete every time. You can also have
larger quantities when using volumetric concrete as the whole truck can be used to carry raw
ingredients as the truck doesn’t need to be mixing whilst on route to the site.

All in all volumetric concrete is a great alternative to ready mix and if you have a requirement
for a project Allmix would love to help you with a quality volumetric concrete delivery.
