Key Factors that Influence Your Concrete Pumping Costs

1. Duration of Pumping Operations
The longer the pump remains operational, the higher the associated costs. Various factors, such as intricate pours, lengthy hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete trucks, can all contribute to increased on-site time. Our skilled team is available to help you estimate the duration required for your specific project, ensuring that you have realistic expectations regarding the associated costs.

2. Total Volume of Concrete Pumped
When opting for the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing structure is designed to account for the wear and tear on equipment, as well as the labour involved, as the volume increases. This transparency in our pricing allows for more effective financial planning for your project.

3. Distance to Your Construction Site
We cater to a vast area, extending from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Depending on the distance involved, 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 Additional Crew Assistance Needs
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 avoid any unforeseen surprises.

Our experienced team is available to assist you in determining the best approach tailored to your specific needs.
