It provides the flexibility necessary to ensure that you only pay for the services you truly need, tailored to the specific requirements of your construction project.

Key Factors That Influence Your Concrete Pumping Costs

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump is utilised, the higher the associated costs. Elements such as complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete trucks can all contribute to increased time on-site. Our skilled team is on hand to assist you in estimating the time needed for your particular project, ensuring you have a realistic understanding of the costs involved.

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

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

4. Job Setup and Crew Assistance Needs
Our standard hire package includes one operator for the pump. However, if your project requires additional assistance with hose management or pour coordination, please inform us. We can provide a skilled crew at an additional cost, which will be quoted beforehand to ensure complete transparency and avoid any surprises.
