Concrete — Flatwork Pricing

For reference, I’m in NOLA metro, and this is NOT what flatwork should cost.

Since it’s a small job, I expect to overpay, but his price is simply robbery.

Last patio addition we did was 250 sq ft, I think it ran the homeowner $13/SF.

DFW a recent quote I got was $5.60 for 4" flat work and $8.60 for foundation pours.

Negative on the short load charge for the second truck. You get one order back after the last full truck. Some companies in NOLA and BR have the capacity to haul 12 yards also. But no one will charge you a short load charge if you order 10 and call back another yard or 2.
A 700 square foot job with demo and haul off like you are describing should run right now around $13 - $14 per square foot with all the bells and whistles like joints cut, tieing into existing, expansion board, etc - maybe the top end of that or a hair more to add keyway and caulk. Not trying to tell others how to price things, but thats around what I would expect right now and more than what I was quoting for that stuff a decade ago when I was doing it.

I would jump on that - seems from the outside looking in like that is a good price. Just make sure that they do it the way it needs to be done - cut joints or put keyway at appropriate spacing, tie into any existing, proper slope, proper depth, and proper cleanup after. Remember - the trucks need somewhere to wash out - it's not legal for them to get back on the road with concrete/rocks/residue still in the chutes. Thats an added expense that people often overlook.
