Concrete driveway costs vary based on size, finish (plain, exposed aggregate or coloured) and site access, typically ranging from $65 to $150+ per square metre. We provide a fixed, itemised quote after assessing your site so there are no surprises.

House slab costs depend on size, slab type, soil conditions and site access. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after reviewing your plans so you know the exact cost before work begins.

Most residential house slabs are 100mm-150mm thick, reinforced with steel mesh or bar, with thickness and reinforcement determined by soil classification and engineering requirements for your specific site.

A raft slab is a single thickened reinforced slab suited to sites with stable soil, while a waffle slab uses a ribbed pod system that performs better on reactive clay soils prone to movement. We recommend the right option after a soil assessment.

Most residential site cuts and excavation are completed within 1-3 days depending on site size, soil conditions and access, after which the site is prepared for footings and slab pouring.

Concrete sleeper retaining walls suit taller, load-bearing applications, while timber sleeper walls offer a natural look for garden and low-height retaining. We assess your site's height, soil and drainage needs to recommend the right system.

Screw piles are steel foundation piers wound into the ground, offering a fast, low-disruption alternative to concrete footings -- ideal for decks, verandahs, carports and sites with limited access for excavation equipment.

Screw piles are steel piers installed quickly with minimal excavation, while bored piers are concrete-filled holes drilled to depth, typically used for larger structural loads such as house slabs on sloping or reactive sites.

Most residential projects are completed within 1-3 weeks of quote acceptance, covering excavation, formwork, reinforcement and pour, though larger jobs or council-permit projects may take longer.

Most residential slabs require a building permit, and driveway crossovers typically require council approval for the crossover itself. We can advise on requirements for your specific project and council area.

Site preparation includes excavation to the correct depth, compaction of the base material, installation of formwork, steel reinforcement and any required plumbing or drainage conduits before the concrete pour.

We typically use 20-25 MPa concrete for standard residential slabs and driveways, with higher strength mixes used where engineering specifications require it for structural loads.

We provide concrete, excavation and foundation services throughout Melbourne and surrounding growth corridors, including the western, northern, eastern and south-eastern suburbs, the Mornington Peninsula and Geelong.
