Concreters by suburb

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.

Common questions

FAQs.

How long does a concrete driveway last?+
A properly poured 100-125mm reinforced driveway (25MPa+, F72 mesh) lasts 30-50 years in SE QLD. Cheap, thin, under-reinforced driveways crack within 5-10 years.
Plain vs exposed aggregate vs coloured, what should I choose?+
Plain ($) is cheapest, slips when wet, shows stains. Exposed aggregate ($$) looks premium, slip-resistant, hides stains. Coloured/stencilled ($$-$$$) is decorative but more prone to colour fade over time. Match to your house style and budget.
Why does new concrete crack?+
Some hairline shrinkage cracks are normal (and why concreters cut control joints). Bigger cracks usually mean: insufficient reinforcement, poor sub-grade prep, missing control joints, or pouring in extreme heat/cold without proper curing.
How thick should my driveway concrete be?+
100mm minimum for cars; 125-150mm if you'll have heavier vehicles (4WDs with trailers, trade utes). Going thinner saves a couple hundred dollars but cuts lifespan dramatically.
Do I need approval for a new driveway?+
In SE QLD, the apron (the part connecting to the street) usually requires a council application. The rest of your driveway on private land typically doesn't, but check with your council before starting.
How long before I can drive on new concrete?+
24-48 hours for foot traffic. 7 days for car traffic. 28 days for full strength (heavy trailers, trucks). A reputable concreter will give you a written timeline.
