Concrete Sidewalk Removal Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Demolition unit cost for removal of 4" concrete sidewalk slabs.

Unit Size

One square foot.

Labor Costs

We figure an unskilled worker can break up and remove about 35 square feet of sidewalk per hour.

The price does not include trucking from the jobsite.

NOTE-- Thicker slabs can take much longer to remove. Turtle Creek Construction was out of the sidewalk business by the time we started writing estimating software, but from past experience we'd estimate that a 5" slab takes 50% longer and a 6" slab takes double the time. Good luck finding out the slab thickness before you prepare the bid!

Material Costs

The price includes jackhammer rental time. On smaller projects you might want to wield a sledge hammer instead, but then the labor cost is probably higher.

Suggested Quantity

No suggested quantity. Just enter the amount of sidewalk you'll be removing or replacing.

Source of Construction Pricing

Based on crew timing from several projects done by Turtle Creek Construction.
