How We’re Addressing Rising Material Costs in the Concrete Industry

Since the COVID-era supply chain disruptions, material costs in the concrete industry have continued to spike, and there’s no clear sign of stabilization. The price of cement, aggregates, and admixtures has surged due to supply shortages, fuel price volatility, and increased production costs. Contractors, homeowners, and business owners alike are feeling the impact, making accurate estimating and material takeoffs more critical than ever to control costs and avoid unexpected overruns.

Why Accurate Material Estimates Matter More Than Ever

The rising cost of materials affects every part of a concrete project—from initial estimates to final execution. Many homeowners and business owners underestimate how price fluctuations can impact their bottom line. At Hydeout Concrete, we’ve seen how even a small miscalculation in material takeoffs can lead to hundreds or thousands of dollars in unnecessary costs.

To combat this, we’ve implemented advanced measurement technology to improve precision and efficiency.

How Moasure Helps Us Reduce Waste and Control Costs

One of the most effective tools we use is the Moasure ONE device, a digital measuring tool that allows us to capture fast, precise site measurements without the errors of traditional methods. Here’s how it helps:

✔ Eliminates Guesswork: Ensures accurate takeoffs, so we only order the exact materials needed—reducing overages and waste.
✔ Speeds Up Estimates: Allows us to provide faster, more accurate project quotes, helping clients plan their budgets confidently.
✔ Prevents Costly Mistakes: Reduces human error in manual measurements, leading to better project planning and execution.

Beyond material efficiency, Moasure has streamlined our entire estimating process, allowing us to provide faster, more reliable quotes while ensuring every project stays on budget.

Adapting to the Future of Concrete Construction

With material costs unlikely to drop anytime soon, companies that fail to adapt to rising costs will struggle. At Hydeout Concrete, we’re committed to leveraging the best technology available to navigate industry challenges and continue delivering high-quality results for our clients.
