I only looked into it and not having much luck with prices. Do you have a price range? Have they started yet? Be nice to see finished product! And who / co. Is doing It? I'm in Brisbane too so like to get an idea. Pricing will vary depending on the method and finishes you choose = MPC or Grind&Seal etc, UV sealer / standard sealer, if grouting is required on a grind and seal, concrete dyes and aggregates etc. Typically MPC method is more expensive than Grind&Seal. The MPC method also requires 32mpa slab. Because we wanted a nil exposed, matte finish... the MPC actually worked out a little cheaper than Grind and Seal (only the Grind&Seal would have needed UV sealer and grouting then too and been more expensive). I don't have prices for concrete flooring alone, unfortunately. I only have the cost to upgrade from whatever the standard allowance was from the builder. Our upgrade to the flooring cost $5024 for approx 128m2. I believe the company they used was OzGrind (we to the OzGrind showroom before locking in our flooring options, they were great to chat to). They have a calculator on their website, using this it says ours would have cost a total of $12,672 (gst inclusive) for 128m/2. which is like $99/m2 Our flooring has already been completed. It is done after the frames are up, but before the gyprock. However, we haven't yet seen the floors as they are covered up completely for protection during the build. Very excited to see it though! Actually, having said that... they may have just done a surface polish for our floors which the calculator says is $9152 (like.. $71.50/m2) In fact, I'm 99% sure that's what they did (or at least what OzGrind had recommended). Because it works out the same price as the Grind&Seal (but it would have then costed more for the sealer + grouting). To my understanding early saw cuts are to control shrinkage cracks, so doing them now would be pointless. Control joints may reduce ugly cracking during periods of soil… 3 9863 Hi all I need a guidance on how far I need to space expansion joints in the concrete driveway and its type (keyway/foam.) Contraction joints are at 3m max for a 125 slab. Thanks 0 10947 |
