Tip: Concrete countertops can be precast or field fabricated (made at the site). The precast version is made by taking exact measurements of your kitchen cabinets and

It is much more difficult to price concrete strictly by a square foot price. Granite comes as a slab and is cut up to fit the needed shape. For concrete, forms must be produced and a precise recipe is followed to create the concrete mix. Once out of the forms
cheaper than concrete. High quality granite will be more expensive than concrete.
Nothing compares to the possibilities offered by concrete. Of course, I'm biased. I love concrete!
