Being near parra in west sydney, does anyone have any recommendations for driveway contractors?? I am struggling to get a decent quote from anyone...my area to be concreted is about 190 sqm.

I have seen some new driveways in our street and very close by and I'm thinking of doing just that. I guess it depends a bit on where you live, eg. we are in an old established area with family homes. I've actually done that for the bricks and the roof ... maybe I'll need to ask the same people about their d/way 'cause I like that too Do you know approx difference in price between the stencilled and exposed?

So, you will do the cheaper option (stencilled) ? My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Re: Driveway Options - Sydney 6Feb 01, 2010 8:13 am Lex Found a guy who is willing to do the stuff this week!!! He is charging me approx 12K for stencilled.

Hopefully the weather stays put and the guy does a decent job!! Fingers crossed! Standard uninsulated double brick has an R value of around 0.7. An insulated standard 90mm stud timber frame can have an R value of around 2.7.
