Masonry Construction in 2026
Concrete is the most-used construction material in the world, and accurate quantity estimation is critical — over-ordering wastes money; under-ordering causes cold joints and structural weakness. A cubic yard of concrete (27 cubic feet) covers 324 square feet at 1-inch depth; 81 square feet at 4-inch depth.
Concrete prices in 2026 run $130–$200 per cubic yard for standard ready-mix, with regional variation of 20–30%. Delivery fees add $50–$100 per truck. Minimum load size is typically 1 yard; orders under 5 yards often carry a short-load surcharge. Always confirm psi strength needed for your application — residential footings typically need 3,000 psi; driveways 4,000 psi; engineered foundations may require 5,000 psi.
Block and brick work: standard concrete block (8x8x16) runs $1.50–$3.00 each depending on region; brick averages $0.50–$1.50 per brick. Labor for block laying runs $1.50–$3.00 per block; brick $8–$18 per square foot. Mortar, rebar, and grout add 15–25% to material costs. Always account for breakage — order 5–10% extra for brick, 10% for block.
