Key Factors Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Expenses

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump is in operation, the higher the associated costs. Factors such as complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete trucks can all add to the time spent on site. Our experienced team is available to assist you in accurately estimating the time required for your specific project, ensuring that you have realistic expectations regarding the costs involved.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When opting for the hourly rate pricing model, 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 level of transparency in our pricing helps you to achieve more effective financial planning for your construction project.

3. Distance to Your Project Site
We service a wide geographical area, extending from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Depending on your project's location, a fixed travel fee of $190 may apply, which covers the mobilisation of our equipment, fuel costs, and crew time. This approach ensures that you are well-informed about any potential additional 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 pour coordination, please let us know. We can provide a skilled crew at an additional cost, which will be quoted in advance to maintain complete transparency and avoid any unforeseen expenses.
