Key Factors Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Costs

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump is in operation, the higher the costs will be. Factors such as complex pours, extended hose runs, and delays in the arrival of concrete trucks can all contribute to increased site time. Our experienced team is ready to assist you in estimating the time required for your specific project, ensuring that you have a realistic expectation of the associated costs, thus helping you avoid budget overruns.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When choosing the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing model is specifically designed to account for the wear and tear on equipment, as well as the labour involved when the volume increases. This level of transparency in our pricing facilitates better financial planning for your project, allowing you to anticipate costs effectively.

3. Distance to Your Project Site
We service an extensive area, stretching from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Depending on the distance, a fixed travel fee of $190 may apply, which covers the mobilisation of our equipment, fuel expenses, and crew time. This approach ensures that you are well-informed about any potential costs before commencing your project, allowing for seamless budget management.

4. Job Setup and Crew Assistance Requirements
Our basic hire package includes an operator for the pump. However, if your project necessitates 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 surprises during the execution of your project.
