Fingal is rural back beach country: large lots, golf links, sandy ground and very few neighbours in sight. The concrete work here is acreage work. Driveways are measured in tens or hundreds of metres, sheds are large enough to need a proper engineered base, and the nearest batching plant is a solid drive away, which shows up on the docket.
To be clear about what we do: we are a referral service, not a concreting business. Your job goes to an experienced, insured local concreter who works Fingal.
Common concreting jobs in Fingal
- Long rural driveways and turning areas
- Machinery and workshop slabs, including thickened edges for shed frames
- Water tank and pump pads
- Paths and patios and pool surrounds around the house
- Repairs to rural crossings and older slabs
How the process works
Tell us about the job and your suburb. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Fingal, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
On rural land, ask about the crossing at the road as a separate item. A culvert sized for the table drain is a real cost and the council has a view on it.
What concreting costs in Fingal
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, exposed aggregate and decorative more. Area, cartage distance and the number of truck movements are the Fingal price drivers. Long open runs do price better per square metre than small cut-up work. See the cost guide for the full breakdown.
Victorian building work sits under the Victorian Building Authority and council rules, and the requirements depend on the type, size and location of the job. The concreters we refer confirm what applies before quoting.
Frequently asked questions
Does a rural driveway need a culvert at the road?
Often, where there is a table drain. It is a council matter, so check with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council before the crossing is built.
What thickness suits a machinery shed slab?
Heavier than a garden shed, and the answer comes from what is going on it. Tell the concreter the heaviest load you expect.
Can a long driveway be poured in stages?
Yes, and on big runs it often is, both for budget and for keeping access to the house.
