Key Factors Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Costs

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump is in operation, the higher the associated costs. Factors such as complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete trucks can all lead to increased time on site. Our experienced team is available to assist you in estimating the time needed for your specific project, ensuring you have a realistic expectation of the associated costs.

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

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, 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 better 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 avoid any surprises in your billing.
