Rating: 5 / 5
I’m totally blown away by the amount of prices and details available in this huge reference of concrete and masonry prices. Just about every type of material I’ve used in my 30-something years as a mason are listed here — plus some that I’ve never seen before. The prices seem pretty accurate too. With the monthly updates, the whole kit and kaboodle is a good bargain for the money, especially if it saves you money on jobs you’ve never done before and have no idea how to price.
