About ConcreteInfo
ConcreteInfo answers the questions people actually type about concrete: how much they need, what it costs, how long it takes, why it cracked, and what the code says. Every answer names its sources. The site is published by ConcreteInfo Media LLC and has been online since 2026.
What ConcreteInfo publishes
The site is built around six kinds of pages. Answer pages take a single question and answer it in the first paragraph, then go deeper. Calculators do the volume, bag-count, rebar, joint-spacing and cost math and show the formula they used. Price pages report what each published source says about ready-mix cost, state by state, along with the federal price index. Standards pages summarize the scope and purpose of ASTM, ACI, OSHA and federal documents and link to the official source. The glossary defines the vocabulary. Brand pages cover the manufacturers you meet at the supply house.
What ties them together is a rule about sourcing: a claim either traces to a primary document or it gets hedged in the text. Our editorial policy sets out the source hierarchy, and our methodology explains how we handle the numbers that published sources disagree about.
Who writes here
Two people are accountable for the content, and every page carries one of their names.
Dan Reyes spent 18 years as a concrete finisher and crew lead on residential and light commercial flatwork. He writes the placement, finishing, repair and decorative coverage — the pages where the right answer comes from having done it in July heat and November cold.
María Solano, P.E. is a licensed professional engineer working in structural design and materials. She reviews mix design, standards, code and structural coverage — the pages where the right answer comes from a document, not from experience.
If a page touches structural adequacy or code, María reviews it before it publishes. General information is not engineering advice, and structural work should be designed by a licensed engineer.
How ConcreteInfo makes money
Plainly: display advertising and affiliate links.
Third-party advertising partners serve the ads you see. Some links to tools, bagged mixes, sealers, forms and equipment are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you buy — at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships never decide what we recommend or what an answer says, and we do not accept payment for favorable coverage. The details are in the affiliate disclosure and the advertising disclosure.
That is the whole model. There is no paid tier, no membership, and nothing behind a login.
Why the site is bilingual
Roughly 64.76 million people in the United States are Hispanic — about 19.3% of the population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau — and construction is one of the country’s largest employment sectors. A crew lead reading a spec in Spanish deserves the same sourced answer as the homeowner reading it in English.
So Spanish here is a localization, not a machine translation of the English page. We use concreto as the primary term, keep imperial units first with metric in parentheses because US jobsites run on imperial, and write the way a Spanish-speaking contractor in the US actually talks. Spanish URLs are localized too — never an English slug behind a language folder.
What ConcreteInfo will not do
We are not a lead-generation site. We do not perform concrete work, we do not bid jobs, and we do not collect, broker or sell contractor leads. There is no “get matched with a pro” form anywhere on this site, and there never will be. That model pays well and it quietly rewrites the content: once a page exists to capture a phone number, the answer starts bending toward “call someone.” Ours does not have to.
We do not claim pricing authority we have not earned. We run no proprietary price survey and we do not pretend to. Published US ready-mix prices disagree by nearly two to one, so we name each source, give the range it reports, and chart the Bureau of Labor Statistics producer price index as the objective trend line. Every dollar figure here is an industry estimate, not a quote.
We do not reproduce paywalled standards. ASTM and ACI documents are copyrighted. We summarize what a standard covers and why it exists, then link you to the publisher to buy or view it.
We do not state local requirements as settled fact. Frost depth, permits, inspections, licensing and code edition are set by your local building department. We tell you what generally applies and point you to the authority that actually decides.
Contact and corrections
Write to [email protected]. We want error reports — if something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it and say so on the page. The corrections process is documented, and the contact page explains what we can and cannot help with.
