Browse Forums Paving & Concreting 1 Jul 13, 2009 5:47 pm Hi, How much can you expect to pay for plain concrete? We need roughly 45 sqm for our front verandah and another 32 for the back patio. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Building the Coral Baroness 274 Check out our blog www.ourbaroness.blogspot.com Re: Prices for concrete???? 3Jul 13, 2009 6:11 pm I believe it's around the $40-$50 per sqm mark.

Re: Prices for concrete???? 7Aug 04, 2009 9:29 pm The minimum we would do for mesh in concrete is 100mm Mesh needs a minimum of 45mm cover. Laying mesh on the ground and lifting it during placment will make sure you don't have the minimum cover ... you risk, no, can guaranty corrosion of the mesh followed by concrete cancer Take a look at building facades at 90mm there are plenty of examples of this. Don't do it as you will be wasting the owners time, money and giving them grief, heartache and a poor job. Onc_Artisan Where you are coming from is where you are going to...

Re: Prices for concrete???? 13Sep 02, 2009 8:43 pm Hi Everyone, Im in the process of getting quotes at the minute for my place, I need approx 96sqm of coloured concrete. I'm in south west melbourne. The two quotes i received were $5350 and $5000. I think it works out to be roughly $50-$55 per square metre including GST. I'm not sure about other places, but the quotes that the concreters give don't usually include GST. Thats the experience that i've found, may not be the case for everyone. If anyone has the contacts of another concreter that can do coloured concrete for a better price please PM me! thanks!

Bunky, where are you located...that is very cheap..if in Sydney, would not mind having the details of these guys... Mohit, I'm located in West Side of Melbourne. Sorry - would have liked to help if i was in syd! Is that a cheap price? I am not sure.. we got 1 contact through the builder. Our old site supervisor (he left the company) gave us the contact for the guy who was doing our driveway. We gave him a call and he gave us a quote. The cheaper of the two quotes we called up someone local and they explained that they can do around 50 per sqm. but might be cheaper since our property wouldn't require a bobcat to shovel the dirt. The block was pretty much level as it is. So came back with the price of 5k. I then only realised that GST would have been added and then push the 'REAL' price above 50.. I have read some prices on this forum before, and it does seem a very competitive price. will have to get more quotes though. Again, if anyone can find a competitive price, let me know... If anyone from West Melb wants some concrete done i can give you the number of the guy who quoted it for me. I haven't accepted it but he's willing to meet on site and go through it with you!

We only got two quotes and they were withing 400 of each other. I was expecting it to be a tad cheaper but hadn't accounted for the GST on top of the per sqm. price.
