Key Factors Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Costs

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump is in operation, the greater the expense incurred. Various factors such as complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete trucks can all contribute to increased time on site. Our experienced team is ready to assist you in estimating the duration required for your specific project, ensuring you have a realistic expectation of the associated costs and helping you manage your budget effectively.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When opting for the hourly rate, the pumping charge is set at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing structure is designed to accommodate the wear and tear on equipment, as well as the labour involved as the volume increases. Our transparent pricing approach helps you achieve better financial planning for your project, allowing for comprehensive budgeting.

3. Distance to Your Project Site
We serve a wide area, ranging from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Depending on the distance from our base, a fixed travel fee of $190 may apply, which covers the mobilisation of our equipment, fuel costs, and crew time. This ensures that you are fully informed about any potential charges before commencing your project, allowing for better planning.

4. Job Setup and Crew Assistance Requirements
Our basic hire package includes an operator for the pump. However, if your project necessitates 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 your project.
