This topic is very relevant to my husband and I at the moment. We are building our new home with ******. We are tossing up wheter to go with their quote to do our driveways/ path or look for our own contractor to do the job. We have been quoted $2,500 for up to 36m2 of 100mm thick, 25mpa(not sure what that means) coloured concrete, and we also have to move our driveway because our garage is being built on our right of the block and the driveway is on the left. This quote also doesn't include enough contrete to do between the footpath and the road, so we are going to have to get someone to do that for us anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions and advise on costs? i'm thinking it might be easier to get someone to do everthing at once? Thanks to intoxicated for starting the topic!

Does anyone in Brisbane who built a house in 2013 have updated figures on how much the cost for different type of driveways? I saw the neighbour across the road when they did their new driveway, the contractors put down Metal square sheeting down before the put concrete on...then tiles to go on top after that again. Is that a standard procedure? Re: driveway cost 19Jul 20, 2020 5:10 am lovepub trying to bring back this old thread alive!! it's 2013 now....previous post is from 2007.

Is that a standard procedure? No idea, but trying to do the same thing. Found this in another post https://driveways.com.au/ which I found useful, obviously different state but does provide for some idea at least. Seems half the threads & posts here don't get any response. 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 9827 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 10921 |
