What affects the cost of a concreter in Brisbane?
Every job is different, so prices vary. These are the main things that change what you’ll pay — use them to compare quotes like for like:
- Area and thickness of the slab.
- Finish: plain, broom, exposed aggregate, coloured or stencilled.
- Site preparation: excavation, base material and removing old concrete.
- Steel reinforcement and control joints.
- Access for the concrete truck or pump.
- Council permits for driveway crossovers.
Ask two or three local concreters for written, itemised quotes. A site visit usually gives a more accurate price than a phone estimate.
Local tips for Brisbane
- Driveways and paths should fall away from the house so storm water drains properly.
- Driveway crossovers usually need a council permit, and you should lodge a free Before You Dig Australia request before any excavation.
