This is a "two part" unit cost-- it is a "per cubic yard" cost which covers concrete placement and concrete materials. The per foot cost covers form work and stripping.

This costing is based on fairly small quantities of work on residential construction projects. For larger commercial projects, the cost is probably very different.
