This pricing model is particularly beneficial for smaller-scale projects or single-load pours, such as residential concrete slabs, footings, or pool bases.

Versatile Hourly Rate Pricing for Large and Complex Concrete Pours

• Hourly Rate: $190 per hour
• Minimum Hire Duration: 3 hours

• Cost per Cubic Metre Pumped: $6

This option is especially advantageous for larger or more complex pours, where both the volume of concrete and the time required for pumping can fluctuate significantly. It provides the necessary flexibility, ensuring that you only pay for the exact services you need, tailored to the specific requirements of your construction project.

Key Elements Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Costs

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump is in operation, the higher the overall cost will be. Factors contributing to increased time on site may include complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete trucks. Our skilled team is here to help you estimate the time necessary for your particular project, providing you with a realistic understanding of the associated costs.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When you select the hourly rate option, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing structure is designed to account for equipment wear and tear, as well as the labor involved as the volume increases. This transparency in our pricing allows you to better plan your financial resources for the project.

3. Distance to Your Project Location
We provide services across a wide area, extending from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. A fixed travel fee of $190 may apply depending on the distance, which covers the mobilization of our equipment, fuel costs, and crew time. This systematic approach ensures you are informed of any potential expenses 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 requires additional assistance with hose management or pour coordination, please communicate this to us. We can provide an experienced crew at an additional cost, which will be clearly quoted in advance to ensure complete transparency and to avoid any unexpected surprises.
