1. What is Concrete Price per Cubic Metre in UK?

Definition: This calculator estimates the total cost of concrete based on volume and price per cubic meter in the UK market.

Purpose: It helps construction professionals and homeowners budget for concrete projects by providing quick cost estimates.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( Cost \) — Total concrete cost (£)
• \( V \) — Volume of concrete needed (cubic meters)
• \( P \) — Price per cubic meter (£/m³)

Explanation: The concrete volume is multiplied by the unit price to calculate total project cost.
