Hi there,
I am in the process of a new home build in Victoria,, currently looking to build driveways, before I engage a professional, appreciate if someone tell what the features of exposed aggregate driveway I should look for, such as strength, thickness of the driveway, possible cost etc.

Thanks

+30MPA, 100MM, 120 to well over 300per sqm depending on excavation is required, any pits to be levelend/extended, type of aggrege/concrete color chosen. whether your concreting is mechanically joined to your slab etc.

first stop would be to a concrete mix place to view their aggregate mixes. Dont rely on photos. its not the same. They usually have sample slabs up on display and should point you towards any concreters they recommend. At that point you will have the concrete price per SQM laid and can work out with the concreters what else needs to be done.
