It presents the flexibility necessary to ensure that you only pay for the specific services you require, tailored precisely to meet the demands of your construction project, thus allowing for more effective financial management.

Key Factors Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Costs

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump remains operational, the higher the expense incurred. Factors such as complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete trucks can all contribute to increased time on site. Our experienced team stands ready to assist you in estimating the time required for your particular project, ensuring you have a realistic expectation of the associated costs, thus helping you maintain control over your budget.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When opting for the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing model is designed to account for the wear and tear on equipment, as well as the labour involved, as the volume increases. This level of transparency in our pricing aids you in achieving better financial planning for your project, allowing for informed decision-making throughout the process.

3. Distance to Your Project Site
We service 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 expenses, and crew time. This approach ensures that you are well-informed about any potential costs prior to commencing your project, thus enhancing your overall planning and budget management.

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 pour coordination, please inform us. We can provide a skilled crew at an additional cost, which will be quoted in advance to ensure complete transparency and eliminate any surprises, thereby allowing you to focus on the success of your project without worrying about unforeseen labour costs.
