Browse Forums Paving & Concreting 1 Aug 18, 2009 2:07 pm Hi folks, I am in the process of getting quotes for my concreting - I have about 60 square meters. I have tried to keep the quotation process as fair as possible by locking down the parameters/variables for the job. I ahve specified the mesh (F-62), thickness (100mm/4inch) , area (doh !) , grade (N25) and the type of concrete ( plain). Quotes include bobcat hire (if the quoter does not have his/her own bobcat) and GST All concreters are laying down crushed rock before spreading the concrete. Are there any other things I have'nt locked down? Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them.
