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, lengthy hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete trucks can all lead to increased time on site. Our experienced team is prepared to assist you in estimating the time required for your specific project, ensuring that you have realistic expectations regarding the associated costs.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When selecting the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing structure is designed to account for wear and tear on equipment, as well as the labour involved, as the volume increases. This transparent approach to pricing helps you achieve better financial planning for your project, allowing you to allocate resources efficiently and effectively.

3. Distance to Your Project Site
We service an extensive area, reaching 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 costs, and crew time. This strategy ensures that you are well-informed about any potential expenses before commencing your project, allowing for effective 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 guarantee complete transparency and avoid any surprises during the project.
