Key Factors Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Costs

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump is in operation, the higher the overall cost. Factors such as complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in concrete truck arrivals can all contribute to increased time on site. Our skilled team is prepared to assist you in estimating the time required for your specific project, ensuring you have a realistic expectation of the associated costs, which helps in better planning and management.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When choosing the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing structure is designed to account for the wear and tear on equipment as well as the labor involved, which increases with the volume of concrete. This transparency in our pricing helps you achieve better financial planning and align your budget with the necessary resources for your project.

3. Distance to Your Job Site
We service a wide area, extending from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Depending on the distance, a fixed travel fee of $190 may be applicable, which covers the mobilization of our equipment, fuel expenses, and crew time. This approach ensures that you are well-informed about any potential costs before initiating your project, allowing for better financial forecasting.

4. Requirements for Job Setup and Crew Assistance
Our standard hire package includes an operator for the pump. However, if your project requires additional assistance with hose management or pour coordination, please inform us. We can provide a skilled crew at an additional cost, which will be quoted in advance to ensure complete transparency and avoid any unexpected surprises during the project execution.
