Quick answer

Is my concrete quote too high?

Upload the quote and QuoteScore scores it 0 to 100 against regional pricing benchmarks, line by line, free and with no signup. Across the 94 concrete quotes QuoteScore has scored, 45.7% scored under 50, meaning at least one line was priced above the normal market range for that job and region, so ask for a line-item breakdown before signing. Rule of thumb: 65 or higher is within the normal range, 50 to 64 is worth one competing bid before you sign, and under 50 has specific overpriced lines to negotiate by name.

Before you sign a concrete quote

A concrete quote usually lists excavation and grading, forms, base material, rebar or wire mesh, the concrete by cubic yard or by square foot at a stated thickness, finishing, control joints, and haul-away. QuoteScore reads the quote you already have, as a photo, a PDF or pasted text, splits it into those lines and compares each one against the regional benchmark range for that item, then returns a 0 to 100 fairness score that names the lines priced above market.

Of the 94 concrete quotes scored so far, the average fairness score is 55.9 out of 100 and 45.7% scored under 50, which means at least one line was priced above the normal market range for that work and region. The count updates as new quotes are scored.

The lines that most often push a concrete quote above market are a per-square-foot price far above the regional range for the thickness, no thickness or reinforcement stated, demolition of the old slab priced as a round sum, and pumping or access charges added without explanation. Before you sign, ask for the square footage and thickness, the reinforcement and base specified, and whether demolition and haul-away are included.

The check is free, needs no signup, and the file is deleted the moment the analysis completes. A score under 65 comes with the specific lines to negotiate and the benchmark range each one was measured against, so you can disagree with it.
