Concrete Contractor Job Profit — Frequently Asked Questions

A good profit margin for a concrete contractor is 20—30% after materials and labor. On a typical $5,000 concrete job, that means $1,000—$1,500 in net profit. Decorative concrete work (stamped, polished) can command margins toward 35% due to the skill premium. Plain flatwork is more competitive, so efficient crews and materials buying are critical to hitting 20%+.
Labor cost is your hourly rate multiplied by hours worked. At $80/hr for 20 hours, that's $1,600 in labor. Concrete work is physically demanding and often requires multiple crew members — if you're billing crew time, include all workers' hours at their cost rate plus your margin, not just your own hours.
The average concrete contractor hourly rate in the US is $70—$100/hr. Decorative and specialty concrete commands the top end and beyond. Your rate needs to cover overhead, equipment costs, and leave a 20—30% margin after materials. If you're using a concrete pump, factor in equipment cost per hour separately.
Enter your numbers above to see your real margin — a job with a 20% margin or higher generally leaves more room to absorb overruns. Concrete jobs with tight margins are usually caused by underestimating hours (concrete work is slower than expected), materials waste, or equipment time not being factored in. Track every job and compare actuals to your quote.
After materials (typically 40% of job value), a concrete contractor should aim to keep 20—30% as net profit. That leaves about 30—40% for labor. If a job is materials-heavy (large pours, expensive rebar or reinforcement), you need to either increase your quote or reduce labor hours to protect your margin.
