On a commercial job, every hour your crew spends waiting on trucks is money, and every
short load or over-order is money too. Express Metered Concrete delivers on-demand
volumetric concrete mixed fresh at your site — any standard or specialty mix, in the exact
volume you place, with the ability to change the design mid-pour. From city utility work and road repair to retail buildouts and specialty structures, we keep your crew moving and your
budget accurate across New Braunfels, San Antonio, and the surrounding region.
How On-Site Metered Concrete Works for Commercial Crews
Our volumetric trucks carry cement, aggregate, sand, and water in separate compartments
and combine them on demand, metering the mix as it pours. Nothing is batched at a plant
hours away, so the concrete never starts curing on the road. For a commercial crew, that translates into three things that matter on a schedule and a budget: the concrete is always fresh, the mix can be adjusted on the fly for different sections or specs, and you’re billed only for the volume you actually place — never a full-truck minimum on a partial pour.
The process is simple: tell us the specs, PSI, estimated volume, and schedule; our calibrated
truck arrives loaded with raw materials; we mix and meter each yard as it’s placed; we
adjust strength or design mid-pour as the job requires; and you pay by the calibrated meter
for exactly what you poured.
Commercial Work We Handle
- City and municipal projects — public works and spec-driven pours.
- Utility work — underground infrastructure and drainage inverts.
- Parking lots, slabs, and site work — new placements and repairs.
- Road repair — pavement sections and drainage structures.
- Commercial buildouts — we’ve poured for projects like Chick-fil-A locations.
- Specialty pours — manholes, silo pads, water-tank structures, and shotcrete.
Why Volumetric Beats Ready-Mix on Commercial Jobs
Ready-mix works fine on simple, predictable pours, but commercial work is rarely simple. Volumetric concrete solves the exact problems that cost commercial crews time and money. Instead of hot loads that start setting on the drive, you get concrete mixed at the point of
placement. Instead of full-truck minimums and over-ordering, you pay for what you place. Instead of a mix that’s locked the moment it’s batched, you can change strength or slump mid-pour. Instead of separate trucks and trips for different strengths, you can place multiple mixes from one truck. And instead of small or odd volumes being costly or refused, no order is too small.
Built for Spec Work
We produce mixes from 3,000 to 5,000 PSI and build custom admixture designs to meet
DOT certifications as well as ACI, ASTM, and AASHTO standards — including shotcrete and
specialty jobs that are difficult for ready-mix to meet. If your engineer hands us a mix
design, we’ll match it, and our calibrated trucks give you a verifiable volume for
documentation and billing.
Why GCs and Municipalities Rely on Us
General contractors and public agencies come back to Express because we make their jobs
easier. We can pour different strength mixes on the same job, change the mix mid-pour
without stopping the crew, and keep concrete coming fresh on long or phased pours. You
pay only for what you place — no short-load fees, no over-ordering — and you get 24/7
service and easy scheduling for tight timelines and early starts. We’re an ACI member and a
family-owned local operation that treats your deadline like our own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle spec-driven municipal and DOT work?
Yes. We build mixes to ACI, ASTM,
AASHTO, and DOT certifications and can match your engineer’s design, including shotcrete
and specialty pours. Our calibrated trucks provide a documented volume.
Is there a minimum order for commercial jobs?
No order is too small — because we
meter on site, we can serve small or odd volumes without charging you for a full truck
(minimum charges may apply).
How do you verify the volume we’re billed for?
Our volumetric trucks are calibrated, and
the meter records exactly what’s placed, so the volume you’re billed for is the volume you
receive.
Can you pour more than one strength on the same job?
Yes. We can change the mix
design mid-pour and place different strengths from the same truck without holding up your
crew.
What’s your service area and scheduling?
We serve New Braunfels, San Antonio, and the
surrounding Hill Country and I-35 corridor, with 24/7 service and easy scheduling for tight
timelines.
