concrete around pool

[ger]

Hi
building a pool and the builder has sugested to lay
a larger tile around pool (32 mpa concrete)
new concrete is 200mm wide X 150mm high 22 metres long
how many metres of concrete is needed??
any idea how much should it cost for this new concrete??
they have sugested $2200 including steel reinforcement

Thank you

Depending on where you live, but around here (Melbourne outer eastern suburbs)

.2 x .15 x 22 = 6.6 m3 of concrete at about $170 per m3 = $1122
4 lengths of F11 4bar, about $30 per length = $120
So about $1240 for materials, so the $2200 for doing the job (including materals) sounds about right
.
or are they telling you that $2200 is for just the concrete & reo ?

Hi Terian
they are building the pool
so they are only adding the extra edge of concrete
whilst laying rest of pool
steel is just going to be made longer to
cover extra length
lying tile has already been costed
with pool instalation
any idea how many linear metres
it is
I can not work it out
they have been working in lenear metres for pool
PS
I live in SE Inner suburbs Melbourne


thank you

OK, so the labour is included, then their $2200 is about right.

OK, so the pool and the surround is one piece, thats fine (good actually)

linear meters is just the length, you can't convert m2 or m3 to linear too easily, for the tiles, if they are the same width as the concrete, then it would be 22 linear meters, if they are 1/2 the width, it would be 44 linear meters and so on

(if I have screwed that up, someone will come along and correct me :-) )
