Delivery Distance:
- The distance from the batching plant to the construction site can affect the delivery cost. Longer distances typically incur higher delivery fees.
Order Size:
- Smaller orders may have a higher cost per cubic meter due to minimum load charges.
- Larger orders might benefit from bulk pricing discounts.
