Methodology

The latest value is the newest monthly observation returned for BLS series WPU133301. The 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year changes compare it with the same calendar month in the earlier year, not an annual average.

The interactive chart and downloadable CSV use every monthly observation returned in the 12-calendar-year update window. The chart defaults to 10 years and can show 1 year, 5 years, or the full available window. BLS series can use different reference periods, so compare percentage movement across materials, not raw index levels.

Latest BLS note: Preliminary. All indexes are subject to monthly revisions up to four months after original publication.

How contractors should use it

Use the concrete index as a price-pressure check before refreshing takeoff rates, allowances, and quote validity periods.

Limits

  • - Ready-mix concrete is an index, not a delivered price per cubic yard.
  • - Local concrete quotes vary by mix design, delivery distance, minimum load, pump access, admixtures, and project location.
