Affordable concrete delivery and placing

Concrete handling and placing can often come with hidden costs such as wastage, the labour of movement and more. If you work with New Mix Concrete, we simplify things by charging a fixed rate per m3 (or part thereof), in addition to a standard charge which applies to any amount of concrete delivered. The only other charge is VAT, with no hidden fees.

What is barrow mix concrete?

Barrow mix concrete is produced to a specified mix based on the strength and durability required for each specific project. The mixing of the concrete takes place in a mobile concrete batching unit located inside the cement mixer truck while it is on site at your premises.

The concrete is then supplied in wheelbarrows, hence the name ‘barrow mix concrete’.

How barrow mix concrete is supplied and placed

Barrow mix concrete is supplied as a volumetric, ready mix concrete. Volumetric means the concrete is mixed by volume, so it is a customised approach to concrete supply, rather than ordering and receiving a specific amount that can’t be changed once it has been delivered.

This is how it works: As the concrete is mixed inside the cement mixer truck, a digital meter tells us exactly how much concrete has been produced, so only the amount of concrete that is needed on the day is supplied. There is no waste.

Once produced, the concrete is wheelbarrowed by New Mix Concrete operatives from the mixer truck to exactly where it is needed. Each wheelbarrow is emptied, returned to the mixer truck and refilled until enough concrete has been produced.

Our labour and equipment are available at no extra cost to transfer concrete from mixer to site using wheelbarrows on prepared access. This means your workers are free to use their time elsewhere while we prepare and move the concrete for you.

Benefits of barrow mix concrete

There are several benefits of barrow mix concrete:

  • Barrow mix concrete produces zero waste. This means you only pay for the concrete you use and there is no labour required to remove any surplus, which is cost-effective for projects of all sizes.

Producing zero waste also makes barrow mix concrete a strong environmental choice.

  • Areas with limited access are easily managed using barrow mix concrete, needing only enough space for the width of a wheelbarrow. This makes barrow mix concrete ideal for back gardens, small holdings and renovation sites.
  • The mix of volumetric barrow mix concrete is customisable at the point of order, and it can also be easily adjusted on site if a tweak is required. This is much better than receiving a full delivery of concrete that is found to be unsuitable.
  • Barrow mix concrete is a high grade mix that is quality controlled through precision batching and on-site testing.
  • The versatility of barrow mix concrete is hugely beneficial for both contractors and home owners. Barrow mix concrete is used for a range of applications from foundations, pathways, driveways and extensions to commercial projects such as bridges and highway paving.
