Turn a per-ton quote into a project estimate
First calculate tons. Then multiply tons by the quoted hot mix asphalt cost per ton.
After that, add the items that are often outside a material-only quote: trucking, minimum load, base repair, labor, cleanup, and striping if the project is a parking lot.
Ask before comparing
- Is the price material-only, delivered, or installed?
- Which mix is being quoted?
- Is there a minimum load or small-job charge?
- Does the quote include trucking, fuel surcharge, and taxes?
- How long is the price valid?
