Key Elements Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Expenses

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 concrete truck arrivals can all contribute to increased on-site time. Our highly experienced team is ready to assist you in accurately estimating the time required for your specific project, ensuring you have realistic expectations regarding the associated costs.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When opting for the hourly rate, pumping services are charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing model is structured to cover the wear and tear on equipment, along with the labour involved as the volume increases. This level of transparency in our pricing allows for better financial planning for your project and contributes to a more predictable budget.

3. Distance to Your Project Site
We proudly service a wide area, 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 transparency and effective budgeting.

4. Job Setup and Crew Assistance Requirements
Our basic hire package includes a qualified operator for the pump. However, should your project require additional assistance with hose management or pour coordination, please communicate your needs to us. We can provide a skilled crew at an additional cost, which will be outlined in advance to ensure full transparency and to prevent any surprises during the project.
