Lets try to keep the format as standard as possible to make it easier to find what we want. I propose we use the following format until someone can think of something better. This is the format: What: Concreting per square meter 100mm thick: plain $55, exposed agrigate $73, coloured $68 Area: Ipswich Contact: Josh 07 555 5555 Result: 80% happy Date: 19-01-09 Details: Bla bla bla Copy and paste template below What: Area: Contact: Result: Date: Details: Happy posting, and keep updating when the tradie or supplier changes the price.

but I just wanted to say that we live in Ipswich, and my husband can offer you free quotes for all of your concreting and landscaping requirements. He has been in the building industry for over 20 years, as a concreter and structural landscaper. He can do all types of concreting including covacrete, exposed aggregate and of course plain. He is also great at pergolas, paving, retaining walls, etc He can supply you with adresses to drive past, references to contact, or photos (though he is abit slack with the camera). Msg me if you are interested. -Sha Re: Ipswich Area Contacts and Quotes Only 6Jan 27, 2009 9:11 pm What: Verandah - banisters etc and new stairs.

They took out the gross 70's brown glass and opened up the verandah with a more sleek, simple design. Dean even came back to fix up a few little niggly bits that got missed.

What: exposed agrigate concrete footpath 100mm Area: Ipswich Contact: Dave 0410640967 Result: 85% happy Details: Very polite. Had to compact the crusher dust myself and the wooden formwork could be a little better (my fault, i didnt get him to tell me exactly what was in the quote beforehand as I was a little rushed) If you cover those things then it should be an excelent job. $72 m sq exposed agg which is cheap (looks good at the mo) Think he does normal concrete for $55 Ill get back to you with a number for a sandstone rock wall (ive done both) do a search under retaining wall as i have touched on this before (will post contacts later) Re: Ipswich Area Contacts and Quotes Only 10Feb 09, 2009 2:31 pm What: Sandstone retaining wall
Who: DIY with contractors(see post below) Below is my post from another thread. Phone your local quarry and ask how much B Grade sandstone costs for a truck load (should do approx 1m high x 15 long ) then get a guy in a bobcat that has built such a retaining wall to do it for you. once the excavation work has been done the actual wall building should take about 4 hours, so pay by the hour. A truckload of 1m3 and 0.5m3 B grade sand stone cost me around $700. A good Bobcat operator should cost $80-$90 per hour. Ken, who advertises bobcat work in local ipswich paper, does a good job. Not sure of his number. Re: Ipswich Area Contacts and Quotes Only 11Mar 07, 2009 6:54 am WHAT: B grade sandstone Rocks

Sure, post it if its relavant to new home owners and you are happy with price and result. e-bay is a funny one I guess, as most people figure that its either bad quality or a con, but a good reference is as good reference! Re: Ipswich Area Contacts and Quotes Only 16Mar 18, 2009 4:57 pm Wanted
