Concrete and bulk materials
Canadian and international ready-mix plants quote per m³; US plants per cubic yard. To compare, $200/m³ is $152.91/yd³. When converting a metric plan, round the order up to the plant's increment (often 0.25 yd³ or 0.5 m³) after converting, and keep 5–10% extra. The concrete calculator works in feet or meters.
