Colour is also one factor that can determine the cost as you already have colour in mind this will help you to choose one.
Expose aggregate colours are made of oxides usually Darker the colour more oxide need to use also costly that is.

Site Access to the job site

This is one of the main factors let me explain. Mostly when the poring spot is too far away to push the wheelbarrow. Or tight access it is viable to chose to pore concrete with a concrete pump. This pump comes in a few different types most common one to used called squeeze pump There are few advantages to use this kind of equipment

This is mostly used for indoor floors. It can also be used Around outdoor areas like pool and alfresco etc.

Honed concrete is roughly cost around 50$ to70$ per meter Square depending on the job.
