WHY USE VOLUMETRIC CONCRETE INSTEAD OF READY-MIX CONCRETE?
Volumetric concrete offers numerous advantages over conventional ready-mix concrete, making it a superior choice for construction projects of various scales and complexities.
Convenient On-site Mix Control: Utilizing Volumetric Mixers (VMs) empowers concrete producers with precise on-site control. Unlike ready-mix (RM) trucks, VMs enable easy adjustments in slumps and air content, accommodating changing needs without the risk of rejected batches.
Versatile Mix Design: VMs offer unparalleled flexibility by delivering multiple mix designs in a single truck. Unlike RM trucks limited to one mix, VMs cater to various site applications, adjusting strengths, slump, and air specifications without project delays.
Continuous Freshness: With VMs, concrete hydration is initiated on-site, ensuring a fresh start upon customer readiness. In contrast, RMs’ hydration begins at the batch plant and thereby susceptible to unanticipated delays (traffic and site delays). This often leads to loads “timing out” and being rejected. VMs are immune to unanticipated site delays and loads will never time out; continuous concrete freshness produced only when required will preserve concrete quality.
Accurate Quantity and Cost Control: VMs provide exact concrete volumes, minimizing wastage and shortages. Unlike RM trucks prone to over-ordering or waiting for additional loads, VMs significantly reduce costs by delivering the required volume of concrete, with unused materials easily stored on the truck.
Environmentally Responsible: Utilizing VMs minimizes concrete waste and reduces the number of trucks required to fulfill orders, thus reducing the carbon footprint and contributing to environmental preservation.
Remote Location Suitability: VMs outperform RM trucks in remote locations, preserving concrete quality by batching only when needed. VMs avoid the setbacks of long delays faced by RMs, maintaining durability and strength without compromising set times.
Efficient for Diverse Projects: VMs efficiently cater to small to large residential, commercial, industrial/infrastructure, and institutional projects. They shine when servicing small jobs across multiple sites and extended timelines, without compromising concrete quality regardless of site delays.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Customers Are Saying
Firenza Plumbing & Heating Ltd. has been dealing with CeMix Concrete for the past 4 years. We have had nothing less than pleasurable experiences with every load delivered. We appreciate the fact that the load can be customized on site as required to suit the application. The sales staff are extremely knowledgeable and extremely helpful when taking the order so as to assist with all possible options. The sales staff are always asking the appropriate questions regarding type of application, delivery time as well as any or all other pertinent questions. As for delivery time the trucks always arrive on time. A special thank you to Nick in sales who assisted with a load a couple of weeks ago that required a special mix . As usual the load worked out perfectly. We look forward to maintaining a CONCRETE relationship with CeMix as we grow together.
Absolutely wonderful service and even better quality of concrete after working with c mix for 8 years I can confidently say that CeMix Concrete is the best on the market right now.
One of the only places I could get to do a Saturday delivery during winter. The truck arrived on time (in fact 15 min early), everything went as it should, phone answered always, professional, pricing was right. Even with delivery to out of area (Kitchener). With on-site mixer I can control the slump as needed. Heated water, fibers no problem. Had to take a break in between due to poor weather and was not rushed at all. Thank you. Was charged the exact amount of volume used, ordered 9, used 8.3, charged 8.3, not sure what the other reviewer is on about; the truck has a computer you can see the amount used right on that system.
CeMix was able to supply my concrete needs within a short time frame. Their mix on site truck did wonders and the operator did a good job with operating the mixer to fill my volumetric needs with very little waste left over. Will be using this company again in the future.
