When Steve Saraya first stepped into the world of concreting, he didn’t picture himself bound by office walls. Instead, he saw himself outdoors, hands-on, creating something solid, something that would last. 

That vision led him to start MetroConcreting, a business that now stands among the top in its field, gaining clients through both word of mouth and platforms like ours, ServiceSeeking.com.au.

From University to Construction

Steve’s journey into the concreting industry was an organic one. After finishing university, he realised he wasn’t keen on the idea of being confined within the four walls of an office. He wanted to be out in the fresh air, doing what he loved. 

Having grown up in a family already involved in the industry, Steve was no stranger to concreting work. “I had been learning the skill in my early years,” Steve recalls. “But it took a while before I had the courage to open up a business.”

That leap of faith paid off. Today, MetroConcreting is a well-established business with a solid reputation built on honesty and confidence—qualities Steve believes are essential for attracting and retaining clients.

Gaining Clients

Like many small businesses, gaining a steady stream of clients can be a challenge, especially in the early stages. For Steve, our site played a pivotal role in MetroConcreting’s growth. It provided him with a reliable way to connect with homeowners in need of high-quality concreting services.

“It has enabled me to gain more client-based work,” Steve says. One of the things he appreciates most about using ServiceSeeking is its straightforward pricing model. “I like that I pay a yearly subscription rather than per job lead. It’s simpler and more predictable.”

This predictability allows Steve to focus on the work itself—delivering excellent concreting services. But it’s not just about finding new clients—ServiceSeeking has also helped Steve build lasting relationships with many of those who first found him through the platform.

“Some of the clients I gained through ServiceSeeking are now regulars,” Steve explains. “It’s been a great way to grow my business.”

The Keys to Success

Steve credits honesty and confidence as the two main drivers behind his success. When asked what strategies have been the most effective for attracting and keeping clients, he keeps it simple: “Honesty and confidence,” he states plainly.

In the construction industry, trust is everything. Homeowners want to know that the person they hire will deliver on their promises, and Steve’s dedication to doing just that has made MetroConcreting a trusted name in concreting services.

Looking back, Steve wishes he had known one key piece of advice when he first started MetroConcreting: “Nothing comes straight away.” Patience is crucial when building a business from the ground up, especially in the competitive world of concreting. Success doesn’t happen overnight, but with determination and consistent effort, it does come.

During tough times, Steve stays motivated by continuously searching for work and staying active in the pursuit of new opportunities. “You can’t slouch,” he says. “You have to keep going.”

The Road Ahead for MetroConcreting

As MetroConcreting continues to grow, Steve remains focused on providing excellent service and maintaining the values that got him to where he is today. 

With ServiceSeeking by his side, he’s confident that the business will continue to thrive, bringing in new clients and turning them into regulars, all while doing what he loves—working outside, creating something that will last.

For any tradie looking to grow their business, Steve’s story serves as a reminder that with honesty, confidence, and the right tools, success is within reach.
