Key Factors Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Costs

1. Length of Pump Operation
The longer the pump is in use, the higher the costs incurred. Factors such as complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete trucks can all contribute to increased on-site time. Our knowledgeable team is prepared to assist you in estimating the time required for your specific project, ensuring you have a realistic understanding of the associated costs involved.

2. Quantity of Concrete Pumped
When opting for the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing structure is designed to account for the wear and tear on our equipment, as well as the labour involved, as the volume increases. This transparency in our pricing model facilitates better financial planning for your project.

3. Distance to Your Construction Site
We cover a wide service area, stretching 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 costs, and crew time. This method ensures that you are fully informed about any potential expenses before commencing your project.

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 the coordination of pours, please inform us. We can provide skilled crew members at an additional cost, which will be quoted in advance to guarantee complete transparency and to avoid unexpected surprises.
