Now I know polished concrete is expensive, but I've seen on these sites that I should expect about $120 per sq m. Is that right for the WA Market? TBH I was expecting to pay about that much. Our requirement is for approx 125sqm on the second floor of a (yet to be built) new build - our builder has quoted us about $200 per sq m. If I engage someone separately to do my concrete after handover, what should I tell my builder about the slab preparation (as I understand it's important to get the slab right in the first instance)? Should I engage someone after handover? Thanks! Do you have a photo of what you're after? Polished concrete (if just surface polished) we can do as low as $60-80. If you need full mechanical grind so that stones are exposed throughout the slab, this requires few more stages and can go up to $120 or $160 as worst case scenario. $200 is just pulling the p1ss. Drop me a message or email if you need someone to get this done at more affordable rates. Can be done after handover but ideally if you can get the builder to agree to get the first stage of smoothing out the slab just prior to cabinets go in would be ideal. I had new concrete laid, extended the alfresco and had the sidewalks concreted too. I noticed the concreter didn't put the expansion foam anywhere, there are expansion… 0 6982 yep, clearly mark where the infloor heating pipes are before drilling or nailing 1 5462 |
