Key Factors Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Expenses

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump is operational, 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 time on-site. Our knowledgeable team is fully prepared to assist you in estimating the time required for your specific project, ensuring you maintain a realistic expectation of the associated costs throughout the pumping process.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When choosing the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing model effectively accounts for the wear and tear on equipment, as well as the labour involved, which can increase with the volume of concrete. This level of transparency in our pricing structure facilitates better financial planning for your project, allowing you to allocate resources more efficiently.

3. Distance to Your Project Site
We provide our services across a wide area, extending from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Depending on the distance from our base, a fixed travel fee of $190 may apply, covering the mobilisation of our equipment, fuel expenses, and crew time. This strategy ensures that you are well-informed about any potential costs before commencing your project, enabling you to make informed decisions about your budget.

4. Job Setup and Crew Assistance Requirements
Our basic hire package includes an operator to manage the pump. However, if your project requires additional assistance with hose management or pour coordination, please do not hesitate to inform us. We can provide a skilled crew for an additional cost, which will be quoted in advance. This level of transparency ensures that you are fully aware of all costs involved, thus avoiding any unexpected charges.
