Key Elements Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Expenses

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump is in operation, the higher the costs incurred. Various factors, such as complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete trucks, can contribute to extended time on site. Our experienced 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 and helping you manage your budget effectively.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When you opt for the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing structure is designed to account for equipment wear and tear, as well as the labor involved, which increases with the volume pumped. This level of clarity in our pricing structure supports better financial planning for your project, ensuring you are fully aware of all potential costs.

3. Distance to Your Project Location
We service a wide area, stretching from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Depending on the distance involved, a fixed travel fee of $190 may apply, which covers the mobilization of our equipment, fuel costs, and crew time. This transparency ensures that you are well-informed about any potential expenses before your project begins, allowing for better financial planning.

4. Job Setup and Crew Assistance Requirements
Our basic hire package includes an operator for the pump. However, if your project requires additional help with hose management or pour coordination, please inform us. We can supply a skilled crew at an extra cost, which will be quoted in advance to maintain complete transparency and avoid any surprises, ensuring you have everything you need for a successful pour.
