very little waste

The suppliers want orders to the nearest half m3. 

Being short can be a big problem, so it is always rounded up.

That is a small proportion of waste in an industrial floor slab, or a bridge abutment, but significant in a domestic pour.

The typical waste is therefore about 1/4 m3 per 'pour'.  Dumped somewhere on site x how many projects every day?

I can imagine 🤯, same with our tarmac, was pre-warned so lots of little jobs lined up for free 👍

They wanted to do mine a week earlier than planned because they’d gone to a job that wasn’t ready. Customer had forgotten to tell them! So they turned up at mine unannounced to see if I could take it. We tried really hard to accommodate them as it was all going to be dumped otherwise apparently but we just couldn’t get it ready for them.

Same with me (but a towable mixing/pumping trailer)

This is what I had - after comments, advice and suggestions hare and a chat with my architect, I have allowed it to pass - and keeping a close eye on it for (no) cracks etc. Thanks @all
