Comparison of Site Mix and Ready Mix Concrete

Sr.No. Parameters Site Mix Concrete Ready Mix Concrete
1 Machinery Weigh batch mixer

(03 bag mixer RM 800)

None required at Site

(Since Concrete is sourced from Batching Plants of 30 to 120 cum plus  per hour capacity )

2 Storage space Required to store ingredients like Cement sand and aggregate None

(Free movement of Transit mixer to be ensured)

3 Supervision Need to be deployed None
4 Consistency In Quality Low; Better Quality Consistency can be achieved with continuous  supervision High since the Concrete is produced under factory conditions
5 Material Wastage High – Storage is staggered None; As wastage is on the Vendor/Supplier
6 Batch size As small as 0.1 cum 03 cum
7 Minimum Order quantity Order as per requirement 03 cum
8 Value Engineering Possible Not possible
9 Dependency on External Agency None High
10 Economy 20% cost effective Dearer
11 Recommendations To be Used if you have Storage Space & in-house technical capability

Used for Low-Rise Building Construction

Used in Sites With Logistical Constraints (like Lack of Storage space etc.,)

Large and High volume of concrete Works

Advantages and Disadvantages of Ready Mix Concrete

Advantages:

  • Concrete is batched within factory condition so the material is consistent in quality
  • Concrete is supplied in transit mixer so requires less space at construction site (for stocking individual concrete ingredients)
  • Material wastage at site is negligible as batched as a product

Disadvantages:

  • Minimum order quantity is restricted. You need to order atleast 03 cum
  • You have to depend on external agency for completing concrete works
  • Costly than site mixed concrete by about 20%

Advantages and disadvantages of Site Mix Concrete

Advantages:

  • With better supervision you can get an economical and quality concrete
  • Small quantity of batch can be produced and need not depend on external agency for scheduling concrete works
  • Design can be optimized as per strength result and you can do some value engineering and save money.


Disadvantages

  • Require adequate space for stocking materials.
  • Wastage of materials to be taken care and periodic reconciliation to be done.
  • Site logistics to be taken care of
  • Qualified staff at site required for supervising concrete production
