About to get my driveway poured but need to order concrete. Can anyone tell me what the going rate is for grey concrete per cubic metre ? Is there much of a difference in price for cream concrete ? And we're is the best place to order the concrete from ? Main one that shows up on google is BGC concrete

Cheers

Find the batching plant nearest to you as well

You pay for the delivery

 

And yes cream is more expensive ( don't know price sorry )

 

Try TDC and multimix as well as ones listed above

That Is such a helpful reply mate wish I had thought about that your a life saver thanks for taking your time to respond....

Hey guys I bought a lathe and am after some wood turning chisels. Google isn't being my friend and won't tell me where to but locally. If anyone knows where I should go please let me know. Only after a cheap beginners set. Il have to use eBay if I can't find local.

Don't you wish you got answers like that when you ask questions Bowdy ?

readi mix or pioneer used to be good.... 

 

i got slugged $200 bucks for a cubic meter of concrete just to fill a big hole with a steel post in it.... from mundaring concrete...

Do you just want concrete or do you need someone to pour and finish as well?

Oohh werdna knows what hes talkin about...!
If u havent got rio mesh let me know n i can point ya in the right dirction..

[Bickley]

Got a mate of a mate who will do 135m2 for $2000 just have to order the concrete.. And yeah Spendy that would be good if you can point me in the right direction

[Bowdy]

A mate and he is still sluggin you 2K for it. Take a day off be his barrow donkey surely he can do it for half that.

[Bickley]

It's a mate of a mate I've never met him before ... It's like $14.80 per m2 to lay I thought that was reasonable compared to what I've been told by other people. And it's not as simple as a square driveway that includes step up to the front yard walkway to front door and walkway around a bay window... But hey if anyone wants to give me prices to compare to that would be great

Is he doing all the form work for it or are you. I know a few grano's il ask.

[Bickley]

Yeah he is doing everything I've just gotta organise the concrete delivery

[knock]

hi bickley take no notice of him, that price is cheap, believe me.

 

it takes more than one guy to pour and finish 135m of concrete...he will have a team he has to pay out of that.
