This option is especially suited for larger or more intricate pours, where both the volume of concrete and the time required can fluctuate significantly. It provides the necessary flexibility to ensure that you only pay for the services you genuinely require, customised to the specific demands of your construction project.

Key Factors That Influence Your Concrete Pumping Expenses

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump is in operation, the higher the associated costs. Various factors, including complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete trucks, can contribute to increased time on-site. Our experienced team is available to assist you in estimating the time required for your specific project, ensuring you have realistic expectations regarding the associated expenses.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When opting for the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing structure is designed to factor in the wear and tear on equipment, alongside the labour involved, as the volume of concrete increases. This level of transparency in our pricing enables you to achieve more effective financial planning for your project.

3. Distance to Your Project Site
We cover a wide service area, extending from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Depending on the distance involved, a fixed travel fee of $190 may apply, which covers the mobilisation of our equipment, fuel costs, and crew time. This method ensures that you are well-informed about any potential costs before commencing your project.

4. Job Setup and Crew Assistance Requirements
Our basic hire package includes an operator for the pump. However, if your project requires additional assistance with hose management or the coordination of pours, please inform us. We can supply a skilled crew for an extra cost, which will be quoted in advance to ensure complete transparency and to avoid any surprises.

Our experienced team is readily available to assist you in identifying the best approach tailored to your specific needs.
