    Default concrete around pool

    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

    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 ) )
