Concrete Contractors in Kensington
HPL Construction provides residential concrete slabs, driveways, excavation and retaining wall services for homeowners, builders and developers throughout Kensington and the surrounding Inner Melbourne.
Our Services in Kensington
House Slabs in Kensington
House slabs are one of our most requested services in Kensington, where tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access keep demand strong for waffle, raft and reinforced slab options engineered to the area's specific soil conditions.
Waffle Slabs in Kensington
For Kensington sites with reactive clay or variable ground conditions, a waffle slab's ribbed pod design gives a stable, cost-effective footing — especially relevant given tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access throughout the suburb.
Raft Slabs in Kensington
Raft slabs are a straightforward, cost-effective option for Kensington blocks with stable, consistent soil — a single thickened slab that suits many of the sites we see across the area, alongside tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access.
Reinforced Concrete Slabs in Kensington
For structures that go beyond a standard house slab, our reinforced concrete slabs in Kensington are engineered to the specific load and site requirements common to tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access.
Concrete Driveways in Kensington
Concrete driveways are one of the most common projects we complete in Kensington, from full driveway replacements to new builds — a natural fit given tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access across the suburb.
Exposed Aggregate Driveways in Kensington
For a more decorative finish, our exposed aggregate driveways are a popular choice among Kensington homeowners, especially where tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access calls for something a little more distinctive.
Commercial Concreting in Kensington
We deliver commercial, civil and multi-unit concreting for builders and developers working in Kensington, scaled to suit an area shaped by tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access.
Factory & Warehouse Slabs in Kensington
Warehouse and factory floors demand a different level of engineering to a standard slab — our Kensington projects are built to the load and durability requirements industrial sites need, informed by tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access locally.
Retaining Walls in Kensington
Retaining walls are a common requirement across Kensington, particularly on sloped or landscaped blocks — we build both concrete and timber sleeper options suited to an area with tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access.
Excavation in Kensington
Excavation work in Kensington ranges from small site cuts to larger earthworks — we handle both, with equipment and crews suited to an area with tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access.
Bulk Earthworks in Kensington
Bulk earthworks and site grading are a regular part of our work in Kensington, particularly where tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access create the need for larger-scale ground preparation.
Site Cuts in Kensington
Before any slab goes down, we carry out accurate site cuts across Kensington, tailored to the ground conditions typical of an area with tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access.
Site Preparation in Kensington
Getting the site right before construction starts is critical in Kensington — our site preparation work accounts for tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access locally, not a generic checklist.
Bored Piers in Kensington
Bored pier footings are a common foundation solution on reactive clay or sloping sites in Kensington, and we install them as part of house slab, retaining wall and structural projects shaped by tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access.
Screw Piles in Kensington
For lighter structures needing a quick, minimal-disruption footing, screw piles are a practical option across Kensington, well suited to an area with tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access.
Concrete Pumping in Kensington
Line and boom concrete pumping lets us reach pours that are difficult to access by chute — a common requirement across Kensington, given tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access and the site-access challenges that can come with it.
Concrete Supply in Kensington
Our Trade Shop and material supply service backs every project we deliver in Kensington, with the concrete, reinforcement and aggregate needed for tightly-packed inner-city blocks with limited site access across the suburb.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a concrete project cost in Kensington?
Pricing depends on slab size, site access, ground conditions and the finish you choose. We provide a free, itemised quote for every Kensington project so you know the exact cost upfront, with no hidden extras.
Do you offer concrete pumping in Kensington?
Yes. We provide line and boom concrete pumping for pours that are hard to access by chute, common on tighter or sloped Kensington sites.
Do you build retaining walls in Kensington?
Yes. We build concrete and timber sleeper retaining walls for sloping and uneven blocks throughout Kensington, engineered for proper drainage and long-term stability.
Do I need council approval for concrete work in Kensington?
Requirements vary by council and project type — a standard house slab under a building permit is common, while some retaining walls, crossovers or works near easements need separate approval. We'll flag anything your Kensington project is likely to need during your quote, though confirming with your local council is always the safest step.
