|---|---|---|---|

Several factors influence the final cost of your concrete project. Site preparation is often the biggest variable — if your site needs excavation, soil removal, or old concrete demolition, this adds $18–$35 per square metre. Access difficulty can add 10-15% if machinery can't reach the pour area easily.
Reinforcement type also matters — standard SL72 mesh is included in most quotes, but thicker slabs or driveways may require SL82 or rebar, adding $5–$15/m². Concrete strength varies by application: 20MPa for paths, 25MPa for residential driveways, and 32MPa+ for commercial or heavy-vehicle areas.
Brisbane's subtropical climate also plays a role — concrete poured in summer needs extra care with curing compounds and timing to prevent cracking. At Concrete Concepts Group, we factor all of these variables into our free on-site quotes so there are no surprises.
The best way to save money on concreting is to get multiple quotes from QBCC licensed concreters. Always check that quotes include GST, site preparation, formwork, reinforcement, concrete supply, finishing, and curing. Beware of quotes that seem too low — they often exclude essential items like excavation or reinforcement.
