Key Factors Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Costs

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

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When opting for the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing model is formulated to account for the wear and tear on equipment, as well as the labour involved, as the volume increases. This level of transparency in our pricing helps you achieve better financial planning for your project, ensuring that you are fully informed and prepared for all eventualities.

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, covering the mobilisation of our equipment, fuel expenses, and crew time. This approach ensures you are well-informed about any potential costs before commencing your project, enabling you to plan effectively.

4. Job Setup and Crew Assistance Requirements
While our basic hire package includes an operator for the pump, if your project requires additional support with hose management or pour coordination, please inform us. We can provide a skilled crew at an extra cost, which will be quoted in advance to ensure complete transparency and avoid any unwelcome surprises during the project.
