Concreter pricing in Queensland — FAQs

Do concreters charge a call-out fee in Queensland?

Many do not if you proceed with the job; others charge $50–$150 for site visits. Ask upfront when you ring. Some regional areas may charge more due to travel distance.

Is the quote usually fixed-price or hourly?

Most Queensland concreters quote fixed-price for defined jobs (driveway, slab, path). Hourly rates ($65–$120/hr) are less common but used for small repairs or unforeseen site issues.

What affects the final cost most?

Job size, concrete type, site prep complexity, and location. Poor access, extra excavation, or reinforcement add cost. Always get 2–3 quotes to compare and confirm inclusions.

Is GST included in the quoted price?

Not always. Confirm whether the quote is GST-inclusive or if 10% will be added. Licensed concreters must charge GST; ask for their ABN and invoice.
