Concreting can be expensive so it’s important to shop around for a good price.
There are lots of different concreting jobs out there. At an average of $3,855 per job on ServiceSeeking.com.au, cement rendering is a relatively inexpensive way of instantly improving your home’s facade – and street appeal. If you’re an owner/builder a concreter is also necessary to lay the foundations of your home, as well as pour your concrete driveway.
The average cost of a concrete slab is $3,796, while it costs an average of $2,868 to pour a driveway. It’s a good idea to have your driveway poured prior to the commencement of building works so building materials can be easily transferred to and from the site. The concrete pump is often not included in the total price and can add an extra $600.
