Concrete quantity toolsStart with the quantity and unit
Use the quantity from the completed estimate and keep its unit beside it. Check that the order request and supplier confirmation refer to the same amount and unit. Keep the measured volume and any separate allowance visible so everyone can see how the requested quantity was assembled. If converting units, record the original and converted quantities and verify the supplier's requested unit before confirming the order.
Use requirements already confirmed for the job
Copy the mix designation or other concrete requirements from the project documents or supplier confirmation. Do not choose a mix design or guess at a specification from an application name. Ask the supplier or the person responsible for the project about unclear requirements before placing the order.
Confirm delivery and site details
Confirm the requested date, start time, and delivery sequence with the supplier. Provide the delivery location, access notes, planned placement method or equipment, and an on-site contact. Ask what additional information the supplier needs for truck access, scheduling changes, or the planned placement. These details help coordinate delivery; they do not establish that the site, equipment, or method is suitable.
Organize the request
Use the ready-mix order sheet to put information you have already confirmed into one request. The sheet formats what you enter; it does not calculate quantity, select a mix, or replace supplier confirmation.
