Frequently Asked Questions — Concrete in Europe

How much does concrete cost in Europe?▼
Concrete costs vary across Europe: Germany €90-€130/m³, France €85-€125/m³, Spain €65-€100/m³, Italy €80-€120/m³, Poland €50-€80/m³, Netherlands €100-€140/m³, and Scandinavia €120-€180/m³. All prices for C25/30 grade ready-mix delivered.
What concrete class should I use for a foundation in Europe?▼
Under Eurocode 2 (EC2) and EN 206, residential foundations typically require minimum C25/30 (cube/cylinder strength). For aggressive environments (XA exposure classes), C30/37 or higher with sulfate-resistant cement. Always check your national annex for specific requirements.
What does C25/30 mean in European concrete standards?▼
In EN 206, C25/30 means the concrete has a characteristic cylinder compressive strength of 25 MPa and a cube compressive strength of 30 MPa at 28 days. The first number is used for structural design per Eurocode 2. Common classes: C20/25 (general), C25/30 (foundations), C30/37 (structural), C40/50 (bridges).
Is pumped concrete more expensive in Europe?▼
Yes, pumped concrete in Europe costs an additional €15-€30/m³ on top of the delivered price. Boom pump hire ranges from €400-€800 per pour (4-6 hour minimum). Line pumps for smaller jobs cost €250-€500. Most European projects over 5m³ use pumped delivery for efficiency.
What are the environmental regulations for concrete in Europe?▼
The EU Green Deal and EN 15804 require Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for concrete. Low-carbon concrete (using GGBS, fly ash, or CEM III) is increasingly mandated for public projects. The EU aims to reduce cement CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030.
