Essential Factors Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Expenses

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump operates, the higher the associated costs. Various factors such as complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in concrete truck arrivals can all contribute to increased time spent on site. Our experienced team is prepared to assist you in estimating the time required for your specific project, ensuring you have a realistic understanding of expected costs and can plan accordingly.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When you choose the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing structure is designed to reflect the wear and tear on equipment as well as the labour involved as the volume increases. Such transparency in our pricing facilitates better financial planning for your project, allowing you to budget more accurately and avoid unexpected costs.

3. Distance to Your Project Site
We serve a wide area, extending from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Depending on the distance from our location to your project site, a fixed travel fee of $190 may apply. This fee covers the mobilization of our equipment, fuel expenses, and crew time. This method ensures that you are thoroughly informed about all potential costs before the commencement of your project, enabling you to make well-informed decisions.

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 upfront to ensure complete transparency and to avoid any unexpected surprises down the line.
