Concrete cost per sq ft by flatwork type (installed)

Typical industry planning values — NOT a structural/geotechnical design. A licensed engineer sizes load-bearing concrete, footings and reinforcement; confirm against your product’s spec sheet and local code.

Installed concrete climbs from a plain slab or sidewalk at the low end to stamped and decorative work at the high end. The bands below are labeled planning bands — a sanity guide only; you enter the real price from your own quote. Cost varies by mix, thickness, site access, sub-base prep, finish and local labor. Use them with the driveway cost per sq ft and patio cost per sq ft tools.
