Concrete price per m³ in Saudi Arabia: a 2026 quote and quantity guide

The General Authority for Statistics average-price table for July 2026, checked 27 October 2026, lists Saudi ready-mix at SAR 195.7 per m³ for ordinary 250 K and SAR 224.9 per m³ for resistant 350 K. Total cost = volume in m³ × price per m³ + pump and delivery extras. A 10 × 10 m slab at 150 mm is 15 m³. Measure it in the concrete slab calculator, compare Qatar riyals in concrete price per m³ in Qatar, and keep the villa riyals on villa construction cost in Saudi Arabia.

Quick answer

The General Authority for Statistics average-price table for July 2026, checked 27 October 2026, lists Saudi ready-mix at SAR 195.7 per m³ for ordinary 250 K and SAR 224.9 per m³ for resistant 350 K, with ordinary 350 K at SAR 215.4 and resistant 250 K at SAR 203.7. Turner & Townsend lists 30 MPa concrete at SAR 290 per m³ for a 1,500 m³ job, supply only. Those labels are not the same grade, so the figures are not averaged. Total cost = volume in m³ × price per m³ + pump and delivery extras. A 10 m × 10 m slab at 150 mm is 10 × 10 × 0.15 = 15 m³ before allowance.

Published ready-mix rates, checked 27 October 2026

The grade table uses the July 2026 average prices of goods and services published by the General Authority for Statistics. The unit on each concrete row is 1 m³. Ordinary 250 K is SAR 195.7, ordinary 350 K is SAR 215.4, resistant 250 K is SAR 203.7 and resistant 350 K is SAR 224.9. The release prints the monthly and annual percent changes beside those prices. It does not define K on the page that was read, so these rows are not relabelled as C25 or C35. A summary chart on the same PDF prints one ready-mix column, not a grade: SAR 213.2 in January 2026, 213.3 in February, 213.1 in March, 211.9 in April, 211.3 in May, 209.6 in June and 209.9 in July. That 209.9 is the chart’s own figure. This guide does not average the four grades into it.

Turner & Townsend’s KSA Market Intelligence 2025 lists concrete 30 MPa at SAR 290 per m³ for a 1,500 m³ job. The material-cost note says those costs are from recent market testing for supply only, excluding works and installation. The sample construction-cost table lists concrete in a 150 mm slab at SAR 550 per m³ for a 1,500 m³ job. That 550 is not the supply-only line and is not added to 290. GCCPricing reference-parity rates, last updated 26 October 2026, are SAR 225 for C20/25, SAR 250 for C25/30, SAR 265 for C30/37, SAR 295 for C40/50 and SAR 315 for C45/55. The governance note says the Saudi row is a calibrated parity, not a verified local merchant survey. No ordinary C35 page opened, so a C35 price depends on the quote. A March 2026 Saudi Contractors Authority bulletin, which restates GASTAT, printed resistant 350 at SAR 228.05 per m³ for March. That is an earlier month and is not placed in the July table.

Saudi figures checked on 27 October 2026. GASTAT prices are July 2026 kingdom averages per m³. Rows with different labels are not averaged.

What a concrete price must include

Ask each plant to quote the same specification and the same address. Ordinary and sulphate-resistant concrete are different products on the statistics table. A strength class still does not fix aggregate size, slump, testing or how the concrete is placed. An admixture or a pump was not priced in riyals on the pages that opened, so that part of the price depends on the quote.

Separate material, delivery, pump mobilisation, pumping time, a minimum load, waiting and cancellation. The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority states that the standard rate of VAT is 15% on a taxable supply, in force from 1 July 2020. Zero-rated and exempt supplies were not moved to 15%. The statistics release and the cost pages do not say whether VAT is inside the riyal. The quote has to say whether 15% is added. Tax on a taxable supply is the value excluding VAT multiplied by 15%, which is the authority’s own statement, not a ruling on a particular load of concrete.

  • Location and access: truck entrance, pump reach, city or haul distance, and washout.
  • Order size: minimum load, the step the plant will sell, and unused concrete.
  • Programme: pour window, truck spacing, after-hours work and delay.
  • Quality: ordinary or resistant, approved mix reference, tickets and testing.

Worked example: a 10 × 10 m slab

Total cost = volume in m³ × price per m³ + pump and delivery extras. Net volume = 10 × 10 × 0.15 = 15 m³. An illustrative 5% makes 15.75 m³ before the plant’s order step. If the plant sells only 0.5 m³ steps, the order becomes 16 m³. Confirm the step.

Using only the July 2026 ordinary 250 K average of SAR 195.7, 15 × 195.7 = SAR 2,935.5 and 15.75 × 195.7 = SAR 3,082.275, before pump, delivery and VAT. Using only the Turner & Townsend supply-only 30 MPa line, 15 × 290 = SAR 4,350 and 15.75 × 290 = SAR 4,567.5. Those are alternative lines for different labels. They are not added together and not averaged.

The SAR 550 slab line is a placed sample cost, so it is not the multiplier for a ready-mix order. A Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam plant can differ from a kingdom average. No city split was printed on the July concrete rows or on the SAR 290 line, so a city premium depends on the quote. The same pour is about 19.62 yd³ net. Beams and thickened edges are measured separately.

One slab, then one printed line at a time. The 195.7 and 290 lines are not added.

Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and haul

The July averages are kingdom figures. They are not a Riyadh price, a Jeddah price or a Dammam price. Turner & Townsend’s SAR 290 line is supply only for a 1,500 m³ job and is not labelled by city on that row. A small villa pour is not a 1,500 m³ job, so the 290 is not a short-load rate.

Haul distance, a pump with a long boom, a night pour and a sulphate-resisting specification are the usual extras. None of the opened pages prints a riyal for pump hire or for kilometres. Leave those lines for the quote. Hot weather can add cooling or a tighter delivery window. Do not add water on site to make up for a late truck.

Related quantity and price pages

The concrete slab calculator repeats the 10 × 10 m × 150 mm volume. The concrete cost calculator prices a volume after you type the quoted riyal rate. Site-mix quantities are a different purchase in the concrete mix calculator.

The Qatar comparison, in Qatari riyals, is concrete price per m³ in Qatar. Dirham ready-mix is in concrete price per m³ in the UAE. Neither is a Saudi plant quote. Villa construction in riyals per square metre is in villa construction cost in Saudi Arabia. Dated black-block prices are in concrete block price in Saudi Arabia. The other GCC construction guides collect the quantity pages.

Questions people ask

What is the concrete price per m3 in Saudi Arabia?

In the July 2026 GASTAT table, checked 27 October 2026, ordinary 250 K ready-mix is SAR 195.7 per m³ and resistant 350 K is SAR 224.9 per m³. Ordinary 350 K is SAR 215.4 and resistant 250 K is SAR 203.7. Turner & Townsend lists 30 MPa supply only at SAR 290 per m³ for a 1,500 m³ job. The rows are not averaged. Confirm the grade and the address with the plant.

What is the ready-mix concrete price per cubic metre in Riyadh?

No Riyadh-only riyal per m³ was printed on the pages opened for this guide. The July figures are kingdom averages. The SAR 290 line is a 1,500 m³ supply-only job and is not labelled Riyadh. A Riyadh price depends on the quote.

Does the Saudi concrete price include 15% VAT and the pump?

The standard rate of VAT is 15% from 1 July 2020. The opened price pages do not say whether that 15% is inside the riyal, and they do not print a pump charge. Ask the quote to separate material, delivery, pump and VAT.

How do I price 15 cubic metres of ready-mix in Saudi Arabia?

Total cost = 15 × the quoted SAR per m³ + pump and delivery extras. At the July ordinary 250 K average alone, 15 × 195.7 = SAR 2,935.5. At the supply-only 30 MPa line alone, 15 × 290 = SAR 4,350. Use one line that matches the specification. Do not add the two products.

What is the C30 or C35 ready-mix price in Saudi Arabia?

GASTAT does not label its rows as C30 or C35. GCCPricing’s reference parity for C30/37 is SAR 265 per m³, and Turner & Townsend’s supply-only 30 MPa line is SAR 290 per m³ for a 1,500 m³ job. No ordinary C35 riyal was on a page that opened, so C35 depends on the quote.
