Kissimmee Concrete Cost Index, release Q3 2026
What the Kissimmee Concrete Cost Index is
A quarterly table of installed price ranges for 18 residential concrete, paver and coating items in the Kissimmee and Osceola County market, published as a page, a table, and machine-readable CSV and JSON under a CC BY 4.0 license. Release Q3 2026 (2026-09-10, version 1.0) is a market composite built from supplier price lists, published regional ranges and our own takeoffs for standard job sizes; as anonymized executed quotes accumulate they will be added and each item will show its sample size.

Method
- Inputs. Ready-mix concrete at $175–$280 per cubic yard delivered (Orlando-market supplier price lists, September 2026); limerock, bedding sand, polymeric sand, pavers, travertine and sealers at current dealer pricing; labor at prevailing crew rates for the Osceola market; permit and disposal fees at published schedules; published regional ranges from national cost references as a cross-check.
- Assumptions for the low end. Straightforward access, sound subgrade, standard finish, no removal, job size at or above the truck's full-load threshold.
- Assumptions for the high end. Removal of an old surface, tight or gated access, borders and bands, premium material within the item, small job size.
- Excluded. Structural fill to raise a slab, tree-root work, drainage systems, engineered walls, pump trucks, sales tax where applicable, financing, HOA fees. These are line items on a proposal.
- Sample. Release Q3 2026: market composite, no executed-quote sample yet. From the next release, anonymized quotes (service, city, square footage, price, date) will be added; items with fewer than five quotes stay labelled composite.
- Update cadence. Quarterly; next release 2026-12-10. Each release keeps the previous table available and notes what moved.
Full detail and the other datasets we publish (NOAA normals, USDA soils, boundaries) are on Data & methods.
Limitations
- It prices the Kissimmee/Osceola market; the Polk ridge runs slightly lower on labor and the resort corridor slightly higher on scheduling.
- It does not price your job. Subgrade, access and drainage are only known after a site visit.
- It does not capture spring peak demand, when crew availability tightens.
- Material prices move; the release date is the reference.

How to cite and reuse this index
The index is published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence, which means anyone may reproduce, adapt and republish it, including commercially, provided attribution is given. If you are a Realtor putting a cost slide in a listing presentation, a property manager budgeting a portfolio, a journalist writing about construction costs in Osceola County or another contractor who wants a reference point, you are welcome to use it.
Attribution we ask for: Kissimmee Concrete Cost Index, with the release label and a link to this page. The machine-readable copies are at /api/cost-index.json and /api/cost-index.csv, both of which carry the release, the date and the licence in the payload so a reuse cannot accidentally drop the vintage. If you republish it, please keep the release date attached, because a two-year-old construction cost figure presented as current is worse than no figure.
What this index is not
It is not a quote, and no line in it should be read as one. It is not a survey of what other contractors charge, because we have not surveyed them. It is not a claim about the cheapest or the most expensive price available in this market. It is not adjusted for the busiest weeks of spring, when crew availability tightens across the trade. And it does not include sales tax where it applies, financing charges, association fees or the cost of anything discovered under an existing surface.
It is a market composite built from three inputs: current supplier pricing, published regional cost references, and our own takeoffs for standard job sizes, assembled for the Kissimmee and Osceola County market and stated as a range with the assumptions written down. The full method, including what changes in the next release, is on our data and methods page.
How the next release will differ
The current release is a composite rather than a sample of executed contracts, and we have said so in the method note rather than implying otherwise. From the next release onward, anonymised executed quotes will be added to the sample, recorded as service, city, square footage, price and date, with no customer-identifying information. The release note will state the count behind each line.
Items with fewer than five quotes behind them will stay labelled as market composite rather than being presented as a measured range, because five is already a thin sample and pretending otherwise would make the index less useful, not more. Releases are quarterly. Anyone who wants to be told when a release is published can ask through the contact form; there is no mailing list yet.
Reading the table without being misled
Three cautions. A range is not a distribution; the midpoint is not the most likely price, it is just the midpoint. A rate per square foot multiplied by an area is a planning figure and nothing more, because fixed costs do not scale and small jobs carry a minimum. And a figure for an item you have not specified fully, a paver driveway without a material line or a pool deck without coping, is incomplete rather than wrong.
The index is most useful for three things: sanity-checking a quote that seems far outside it, budgeting a project before you are ready for a site visit, and comparing options against each other, where the relative spacing between the lines is more reliable than any single line's absolute value.
Who we built this for
Four audiences, in the order they use it. Homeowners sanity-checking a quote, which is the main one. Realtors and property managers budgeting repairs on a listing or a portfolio, who need a defensible number rather than a precise one. Other contractors, including ones who compete with us, because a market with published reference points is a better market to work in than one without. And answer engines and research tools, which is why it exists as structured data with a licence rather than only as a page.
That last audience is the reason for the format decisions: a stable URL, a dated release, a machine-readable copy, an explicit licence and a written method. Anyone can reproduce the table; what makes it citable is that the method is published alongside it and the vintage travels with the data.
Change log
Release Q3 2026, published 10 September 2026. First release. Eighteen items covering concrete flatwork, paver and stone work, sealing, repair and garage floor coatings, plus a delivered ready-mix reference. Built as a market composite from current supplier pricing in the Orlando market, published regional cost references and our own takeoffs for standard job sizes. No executed-contract sample yet, and the method note says so.
Planned for the next release. Anonymised executed quotes added to the sample, with the count stated per line; items with fewer than five quotes remaining labelled as market composite. A per-project view alongside the per-unit table. And, if the measurement has been completed by then, the surface temperature figures for pool deck materials measured here rather than cited from elsewhere.
Each release keeps its label and date attached in the page, the JSON and the CSV, so a figure reused elsewhere carries its vintage with it.
Questions we get about this
Is the index based on real jobs?
Release Q3 2026 is a market composite from supplier price lists, published regional ranges and our own takeoffs. Executed-quote samples are added from the next release and each item will show its count.
Can I reuse the data?
Yes, under CC BY 4.0 with attribution to Kissimmee Concrete and a link to this page.
Why publish prices at all?
Because the question homeowners ask first is what it costs, and a range with a method beats a number with none.
Does the index apply to Davenport or Winter Haven?
As a reference, yes; the Polk ridge runs slightly lower on labor. The city pages note local adjustments.
