Ok......what is an ICF mix?

   The "ICF mix" that I used here in KY has small pea gravel instead of crushed stone also it has alot of cement. It cost about $2 or $3 a yard more than a standard 4000 psi mix. it sets up lightning fast, even inside an ICF wall, for some reason.
 
   Best I remember I was paying about $83/yard for it during the summer, but I know it has gone up some more with fuel cost.

   I'll be intersted to see if the "ICF mix" is the same other places.

I would expect these prices to go up even further depending on delivery area since oil hit $109 barrel today. Gas prices continue to go up.

Ranging from $86 - 105 depending on rock and delivery. 3000psi pump mix. Mid FL from coast to coast. GR

3/06/2008 26 yards 7sack pea gravel mix with 20% fly ash @ $142.00 / Yrd.

Berkeley, CA

I just got my current pricing it breaks down like this...

 

25 Mpa (3625 Psi) is $204.90  a cubic meter

for 14mm aggregate (ICF mix) add $13.00

Winter heat (October thru April) adds $20.00

Environmental fee adds $4.00

This leaves a cubic meter at $241.90 if required between October and April)

or a low $221.90 in the summer.

 

A cubic yard is about .76 cubic meter...
 
Winter concrete = $183.84
Summer Conrete = $168.64

Location is Northern Alberta, Canada

Glad I'm not there.
Barrie, Ontario $127 per meter, thats for a really, really good ICF mix.

The price of concrete is what is really detering me from using ICF all the way to the roof, I feel that I can build a good efficient home far cheaper using other methods.  Don't flame me, I agree that ICF is a great system, however, concrete costs are staggering here.

Cost for yard of Concrete in Florida Keys, 2 weeks ago was $143. pls fuel surcharge of $75.00 per truck (2 miles down the road),4000 psi slump 5

 

$135 at 3,000+ psi with 3/8 inch aggregate, 7 to 8 inch slump in 20 mile north of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Do most of the prices include pumping or is getting/arranging pump extra?

I have always found pumping to be an extra charge regardless where the project was located.  I have not heard of any ready-mix companies that furnish pumping services.  One thing that I have found that varies is that some pumping companies will not furnish the personnel for pumping.  That is, people on my crew had to handle the hose.  Furnishing your own labor and paying a pumping company is almost like double jeopardy.

Yah, got a quote of 100 per yard and $400 bucks extra for pumper (assuming one truckload). I only need about 10 yards as it is a small addition. (Winona, MN BTW) Actually though it is the same company, it was two calls. Thanks-ck

Just pumped a job in central Georgia.  3,000 psi mix, 57 stone, $78.00 a yard.  Pumping is always another charge. 

wow - 78 dollars per yard is a good price

it's still 100 per yard here in louisiana

Is there any difference in the strength/quality of the concrete when using 3/8" smooth river gravel vs. 3/4" crushed stone? Those are essentially my two options here for my ICF walls. This is assuming both are a 3500 psi mix. I know the smooth 3/8" gravel will flow better in the ICF wall cavities, but it seems to me that the cement will bond better to the fractured edges of the crushed stone. Any thoughts?

We always use 57 granite stone.  It does make a stronger concrete and at the same time vibrates better.  We have had 3,000 PSI no. 57 granite ICF walls core drilled and they test at 9,000 PSI.  

In Alberta,Canada for the LaFarge ICF mix 25 mpa 1/2 inch agg we are paying $208.00/meter. Thats why I use Hobbs Vertical ICF because I can use 40% less than a standard 6" ICF block.

This is assuming both are a 3500 psi mix........response..... 3500 psi is 3500 psi. If you need more strength you should specify it, don't count on something extra (which you will probably get in any case unless the mix is badly mishandled). Go with the aggregate that is appropriate for the job. Aggregate type, size and gradation are important considerations for good workability In your case, I would select 3/8. Bruce

We have $78.00 yd in NE Wis. #3000 3/4 rock. Just now the builds are starting. About 6 month late but things are looking up.
