It offers the flexibility needed to ensure that you only pay for the services you require, tailored to the specific demands of your construction project.

Critical Factors Impacting Your Concrete Pumping Expenses

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump remains in use, the greater the expense. Factors such as complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in concrete truck arrivals can all contribute to increased time on site. Our experienced team is ready to assist you in estimating the time required for your specific project, ensuring you have a realistic expectation of associated costs.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When opting for the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing model is designed to account for the wear and tear on equipment, as well as the labor involved, as the volume increases. This level of transparency in our pricing helps you achieve better financial planning for your project.

3. Distance to Your Project Site
We service a broad area, extending from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Depending on the distance, a fixed travel fee of $190 may be applicable, covering the mobilization of our equipment, fuel expenses, and crew time. This approach ensures that you are well-informed about any potential costs before initiating your project.

4. Job Setup and Crew Assistance Requirements
Our basic hire package includes an operator for the pump. However, if your project necessitates extra assistance with hose management or pour coordination, please let us know. We can provide a skilled crew at an additional cost, which will be quoted in advance to ensure complete transparency and avoid any surprises.
