Pricing guide

Costs are driven by slab thickness and reinforcement, the type of finish, and site and subbase conditions. A standard 100mm slab with single-layer mesh is typically less complex than an engineered or decorative slab, which often need heavier reinforcement, staged finishing and extra visits. Callout fees, regional labour rates and after-hours attendance may also affect the final price.

  • Slab thickness and reinforcement

    Thicker sections or engineer-specified reinforcement for vehicle loads usually require more materials, labour and compaction.

  • Finish type and complexity

    Decorative finishes like exposed aggregate, colouring, stamping or polishing typically need staged labour, premium materials and protection measures.

  • Site access and ground condition

    Restricted access, uneven ground or a poor subbase often increase preparation time and may require subbase remediation.

  • Number of visits and staging

    Premium or decorative work may require additional visits for staged finishing, washing and sealing, increasing overall time on site.

  • Timing and callout arrangements

    Callout fees, regional labour rates and after-hours attendance generally affect the overall charge and scheduling.

Frequently asked questions

Do concreters need to be licensed?
Licence requirements for concreters are mandatory. You should confirm your concreter holds the appropriate licence and can provide any required compliance or certification.
When is reinforcement required for a slab?
Reinforcement is typically used where the slab is designed for vehicle loads or when an engineer specifies it, such as garages or heavy-duty bases. If reinforcement is needed the job usually involves thicker sections and heavier reinforcement methods.
How do site conditions affect the job?
A flat site with standard access is assumed for a standard slab; uneven ground or a poor subbase may require remediation and add to the scope. Restricted access can also increase labour time and complexity.
What should I prepare before concreters arrive?
You should generally ensure clear access to the area and remove obstructions so the crew can work safely. If demolition, disposal or subbase work is likely, your concreter will usually advise what additional preparation or arrangements are needed.
