Question 1

Does it cost anything to send my job through?

Accepted Answer

No. Send the form or call 0498 564 354 and the job goes to Steven, who runs the Concreters for Hire Victoria community. Quotes from the concreters are free, and you are not locked into anything by asking.

Question 2

Who actually does the concreting?

Accepted Answer

Your job goes to Steven, who runs the Concreters for Hire Victoria Facebook community of more than 8,000 members. He connects it with a concreter who works in your area and does that kind of job, and the concreter quotes and does the work directly with you.

Question 3

What areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

All of Victoria: Melbourne metro, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley, the Mornington Peninsula, Gippsland and the North East. If your town is in Victoria, send the job through.

Question 4

What should I include when I send my job?

Accepted Answer

Your suburb, the kind of job (driveway, slab, path, crossover or a burnished finish), rough measurements if you know them, and photos of the spot. Access photos, like where the truck would park, get you a firmer price faster.

Question 5

How fast will I hear back?

Accepted Answer

Jobs sent through the form land in the same inbox Steven checks every day. If the job is urgent, call 0498 564 354 and say so.

Question 6

Do you take commercial and civil work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The community includes concreters who do commercial slabs, footpaths and crossover work with traffic management, and the photos on this site show it. Send the job with the site details and plans if you have them.

Question 7

How much will my concreting job cost?

Accepted Answer

Every job prices on its own factors: the size, access for the truck and barrow, how much site preparation is needed, the finish you pick, and where in Victoria you are. Send the form with your suburb, rough measurements and a photo, and the concreter gives you a real number. The quote is free.

Question 8

Will I get more than one quote?

Accepted Answer

Steven matches your job with a concreter who works in your area and does that kind of work. If you would rather compare, say so when you send the job and he can put it in front of more than one concreter from the community.

Question 9

Who do I actually hire, and who is responsible for the work?

Accepted Answer

The concreter. Concreters for Hire Victoria connects you with a concreter from the community, and the quote, the price, the schedule and the workmanship are all agreed directly between you and that concreter. Steven runs the community and passes the job on; he does not contract the work himself.

Question 10

Are the concreters insured and registered?

Accepted Answer

Ask your concreter directly before the work starts, and get it in writing with the quote. Concreters for Hire Victoria is a community and a matching service, not an employer, so insurance and any registration sit with the individual concreter who quotes your job.

Question 11

How long does a concreting job take?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward driveway or path is often formed and poured in a day or two, then needs curing time before you drive or build on it. Weather, site preparation and the size of the pour all move the schedule. Your concreter confirms the timing when they quote.

Question 12

Can I see real work before I decide?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The gallery on this site is real photos off real jobs from concreters in the community: driveways, slabs, footpaths, crossovers and burnished floors across Victoria. No stock images.

Question 13

My suburb or town is not listed. Can I still send a job?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The service areas page lists the regions, but the community covers the whole state. If your job is in Victoria, send it through and Steven will match it with a concreter who works your area.

Question 14

Is this the same Concreters for Hire Victoria as the Facebook group?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This site is run by Steven, who runs the Concreters for Hire Victoria Facebook community of more than 8,000 members. The group and this site are the same crew.
