Concrete Estimating Perth

Your first concrete estimate is free. After that we quote a fixed fee upfront based on the scope of the plans, so you know the number before we start with no surprises. A simple residential slab costs less than a full commercial tender package, because the fee tracks the complexity and the number of elements. A single-storey house slab with straightforward reo is a quicker exercise than a multi-storey tilt-panel job with post-tensioned elements.

Both, and we can split them. Takeoff-only gives you the quantities in m3, kg and linear metres to price yourself. A full estimate applies current WA rates to those quantities and hands you a priced spreadsheet.

Yes. Our quantity takeoff and bill of quantities service covers all trades, and the concrete component uses the same detailed measurement as a standalone estimate.

Concrete estimating is calculating the volume, reinforcement, formwork, pump hire and finishing labour a pour needs, then pricing those quantities at current local rates. A Perth concrete estimate from our team lists m3 by mix specification, a reinforcement schedule, formwork metres and finishing allowances, all priced on real WA supplier and labour rates.

Most residential concrete estimates come back within 24 hours of receiving complete plans. Commercial jobs with multiple structural elements take longer, and we confirm the turnaround before starting so you can plan around it.

PDF plans are the standard, and DWG or DXF files work if you have them. We do not work off printed plans or phone photos, the documents need to be scalable so we can calibrate them. Structural drawings and any specification sheets help us price the reo and formwork accurately.

Typically 5 to 10 percent, tuned to the job. Access, subgrade, pump priming and pour method all move it, so we set the allowance per pour rather than clipping a flat figure onto every job.

Yes. We price exposed-aggregate driveways, pattern-imprint concrete, coloured concrete, honed and polished finishes. Finishing labour for decorative work is very different from a plain broom finish, and that gap matters when you are tendering.

Yes, and it is one of the reasons Perth builders come to us instead of an east coast estimator. Liquid limestone is a WA product with its own supply rate, its own hand-trowelled finishing labour and a sealing coat, so we carry it as a separate line rather than pricing it as standard concrete.

It depends on the aggregate you specify and the site access for the wash-off, so we do not publish a blanket figure. Send us the driveway plan and we will price both finishes as separate lines on the same estimate, then you can see the actual gap on your job.

Both. We price directly for concrete subbies working their own jobs, and for residential and commercial builders who need concrete as a trade within a bigger estimate. The output format adjusts to whatever is most useful to you.
