How much does a concreting job in Burleigh Heads cost?

Just like a fingerprint, every concreting job is different and prices may vary. As a rule of thumb (pardon the pun), concrete by the square metre can cost between $80-$150 depending on the materials chosen. The price between standard concrete and exposed aggregate concrete for instance can vary quite widely.

Here are a few things to ask yourself when you’re wondering what will impact the cost of your concreting job in Burleigh Heads:

•  – Is there easy access to your site?
•  – How many square metres of concrete do you require?
•  – What materials will you choose?
•  – How fast do you need a job done/will we require a bigger trades team?
•  – Is it difficult to get machinery onto the site, for instance, do you have a long and thin driveway?

What is the average duration of previous Burleigh Heads concreting jobs?

Anywhere from 1-3 days, with the possibility of your Burleigh Heads concreting job extending out to 5 days if certain factors are at play. Things like weather, curing time and ease of access to the site can impact the time it takes to fully install concrete driveways or exposed aggregate concrete. You can rest assured however that even on the biggest jobs we will be out of your hair after 5 days.

How thick should a concrete slab be in Burleigh Heads?

To meet structural requirements all concrete slabs in Burleigh Heads should be a minimum of 4 inches thick. This is increasingly important when you are dealing with high-traffic areas and/or areas that are heavily weight-bearing frequently such as a driveway with multiple parked vehicles. Concrete slabs may be thinner if they are just going to be used as footpaths or for holding garden sheds or large pot plants for example, but this will be decided by our experts on a case-by-case basis.

Will an exposed aggregate driveway add value to my Burleigh Heads home?

We can almost guarantee it. In this (and any) market, buyers love to see a home that has been invested in and looked after and installing exposed aggregate driveways are a great symbol of this. Given concrete driveways can last upwards of 50 years, are safe, eco-friendly, are slip-resistant and can help insulate your home, an exposed aggregate driveway is almost certain to boost the value of your Burleigh Heads property.

In fact, many of our Burleigh Heads customers hire us to install concrete driveways straight after they’ve moved in as an investment or immediately before they place their home on the market to help it sell!
