Where concrete contractors leak money
Mud and rebar pass-through
Ready-mix and steel prices move with the market. If quotes lag deliveries by a season, the spread comes out of margin. Year-over-year materials share shows it plainly.
Decorative priced like flatwork
Stamped and decorative work carries more labor and more callbacks. Priced off the same per-foot model as flatwork, it can net less than the plain pour. Segment split makes it visible.
Weather days nobody bills
Rain delays, pump reschedules, crews on standby. Fixed overhead against weather-shrunk volume shows up as a net-margin dip the P&L can date to the month.
