Concreters in South East Queensland handle driveways, paths, slabs, retaining walls, exposed aggregate finishes, decorative concrete, and structural pours. The SE QLD climate makes concrete a popular surface, durable, low maintenance, handles wet/dry cycles well, but quality varies wildly between operators. A bad concrete pour cracks, sinks, or stains within 12-24 months; a good one lasts 40+ years. The difference is preparation, mix specification, and curing.
QBCC licensing is required for concreting work over $3,300, the same as all other QLD building trades. Smaller jobs (sub-$3,300) can be unlicensed but reputable concreters carry the licence regardless because clients increasingly check.
What to ask before hiring a concreter
- QBCC licence. Mandatory for jobs over $3,300. Check the licence and the class of work covered.
- Insurance. $10M public liability + workers compensation.
- Detailed quote with mix specification. Should specify concrete strength (e.g., 25MPa, 32MPa), thickness, reinforcement (mesh size and steel bar specs), and finish type.
- Site preparation. A good concreter will excavate, compact, level, and screed properly. Skipping these steps is the #1 cause of cracks and sinking.
- Curing plan. Concrete needs 7+ days of moisture-curing to reach full strength. Ask how they manage curing, covers, water, or chemical curing compound.
- Drainage and falls. Critical for driveways and paths. Should slope away from the house at minimum 1:50 (2%).
- Warranty. 7 years on structural concrete work is the QBCC statutory minimum in QLD. Anything less is a red flag.
