What is Volumetric Concrete?

Concrete Mixed on Site, Not in a Drum

A volumetric concrete mixer carries the individual ingredients required to make concrete and mixes the concrete on site. The machine measures and mixes the required quantities at your project, giving greater flexibility than traditional drum-mixed ready-mix concrete.

We won't claim volumetric concrete is always cheaper — but it can offer cost and quantity advantages depending on the project. Tell us what you're building and we'll advise honestly.
