It provides the necessary flexibility to ensure you only pay for the services you need, tailored to the specific demands of your construction project, ultimately allowing for improved financial planning and resource allocation.

Essential Factors Impacting Your Concrete Pumping Costs

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump operates, the greater the costs incurred. Factors such as intricate pours, extended hose runs, or delays in the delivery of concrete trucks can all lead to increased on-site time. Our experienced team is ready to assist you in estimating the necessary time for your specific project, ensuring you have a realistic understanding of the potential expenses involved.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When selecting the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing structure is designed to consider the wear and tear on our equipment, as well as the associated labour, as the volume increases. This transparency in our pricing model supports better financial planning for your project.

3. Distance to Your Construction Site
We offer services across a broad area, extending from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Depending on the distance, a fixed travel fee of $190 may be applicable, covering the mobilisation of our equipment, fuel expenses, and crew time. This approach guarantees that you are fully informed about any potential costs before the commencement of your project.

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