#1 For Concreting Canberra
A Capital Service for a Capital City
Clean concrete looks great and, when it’s laid by professionals, you know you can be proud of your home. The driveway looks smart, your garden paths look crisp and elegant, your house just feels solid as a good home should feel.
Whilst your new surface looks superb, it’s comforting to know it took a lot of effort by the right team to make it so appealing.
Let’s be honest, though. Concrete is pretty boring stuff. It’s everywhere and anywhere and lots of firms offer to lay it for you. How do you know you’re getting the best finished product that will look great and last a lifetime, and that won’t be causing you headaches down the line?
Well, would you like to feel that you’ve got economical, sustainable and safe concrete? Would you like to know that you won’t have to worry about significant cracking or deterioration, that your slab is a strong foundation, your shed sits on a rock solid base, your home looks great with our work?
The fact is we take pride in out profession and the quality of our work, and we want to be sure that you’ll be happy with our concreter service 5, 10, 20 or more years down the line and that you get the quality you’d expect.

How Can Our Qualified Concreters Help You?
As you chat to your neighbours, you want them to notice how smart your driveway is, you’d love it if they complimented you on it, you’d be over the moon if they asked for the contractor’s name. You’d then know you’d got the right team in, the job had been done well and you’d be pleased to pass on our details. We believe we’re the best concreters in Canberra and stand by our quality of work.
You’re going to love that your home looks and feels so much smarter. That’s not all, though.
If you want to upgrade the value of your house because you want to sell it at some point in the future, our work is designed to add dollars to your sale price. As potential buyers approach your home, they will be impressed by the smart driveway or well designed path leading to your lovely (and more valuable!) home.
But Let’s Not Jump The Gun.
We don’t believe in a service that’s anything but first class. We go over and above the normal standards and provide exemplary quality to all our customers so they come back for more.
Our approach is innovative and we work to the highest safety standards. We’re proud of our work and rightly so as making you satisfied is our number one priority.
Whether you are after that new driveway with the bespoke design, the path that makes the garden, the slab for your new garage or extension, we can help.
Our Three Principles
Economical
We are economical because we know we can provide superb construction knowledge and skills at extremely competitive prices. There are many good construction companies out there who want this work and we know price is vital to get right. If we are too expensive, no matter how good our work is, you’ll go elsewhere. It’s just concrete, right?! A competitive business is a successful business! (as suggested by the CBC)
Sustainable
We know we offer sustainable work because our aggregate is built to last. You’ll want that driveway to look just as good in 20 years as it does the day we finish. You haven’t chosen concrete because it’s a short-term solution. We still have plenty of cement based structures from the Roman times (though not yet found in Australia!) so we know you want a long lifespan from our work.
Safe
We only provide concrete that is prepared, delivered and laid with the top safety standards. We believe in taking care of our staff and our clients in a safe and responsible way. We also deliver product that is safe, robust and will give you years of satisfaction from a job well done. Safety is without a doubt our #1 priority and is one reason we consider ourselves the best concreters Canberra has to offer.

Our Concrete Construction Process
Every concreting job is different and no 2 projects are done the same way. The very first step is usually clearing the site, whether that be removing an existing driveway, or you might require soil or trees to be cleared, we can arrange this. Generally though whether you’re getting a driveway, a slab, or whatever else, we’ll very likely use reinforcing materials (commonly called rebar) which will help reinforce your new concrete and give it some strength when under pressure or tension, and this is generally know as reinforced concrete. We will generally create formwork out of timber which we use to create a mold (as such) for the concrete so that when we pour it, it can take the shape of the formwork and will set in the desired way.
One distinction we’d also like to make that some people get confused about, mortar is not concrete, mortar is used to stick other building materials together (like in between bricks) whereas concrete is a separate building material itself.
Concrete is a mixture made up of 3 main ingredients which includes an aggregate, water and cement. Aggregates will vary depending on the job and are generally one of the following – sand, crushed stone, crushed rock, limestone, granite or gravel. Once these 3 ingredients are mixed together in the right proportions we’ll then be ready to start pouring and laying your formation.
FAQs
The final quote you receive from us will take into account the size of the area to be concreted, the slope (if there is one), how much excavation or removal of your old driveway or slab is required and the type of finish you’re after.
Be careful of any contractors who quote too low as they may not be factoring in all expenses and may charge you more later on. They may also cut corners and provide you with a cheap and inferior finish that may need costly repairs in the future.
Every project is different however generally it involves site preparation (removing rubbish, excavations, drainage preparation), installing a framework, pouring of the concrete, applying any specific treatment to it (decorative or specific colouring).
Once again it will depend on the type of job. Other variables such as the size of the surface area, the weather conditions, and how thick the concrete is (will depend on what purpose it is used for). Generally the longer we can leave it without use the better, especially with concrete that has to deal with heavy loads (such as driveways).
We’ll generally aim to commence the project when the weather is decent, if you need a specific time frame don’t hesitate to give us a quick call.
Random cracks in slabs or formations can be an issue and they can be caused by a few different things including the soil underneath not being properly settled, overloading the slab with more weight than it’s designed for, drying issues or shrinkage of the slab, and also changing moisture levels in the soil.
We always follow best practices for every concreting project we do which means that we prepare the site properly before any concrete is poured, ensuring everything is planned out using the correct thickness for the intended usage and making sure the slab is poured consistently and quickly so that it can dry as a whole and not in sections.
In saying all this minor cracks can occur over time where the surface has expanded due to normal expansion and contraction and this cannot be avoided, these are almost always aesthetical and not structural issues.
Benefits of Using Concrete
Concrete is a construction material that is composed of cement, water, sand, and aggregate, such as crushed stone, gravel, or recycled concrete. It is widely used in the construction of buildings, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure because of its versatility, strength, and durability.
- Strength and Durability: Concrete is a very strong and durable material that can withstand heavy loads and forces. It is resistant to weathering, erosion, and corrosion, making it suitable for use in outdoor structures such as bridges and roads. Concrete can also withstand fire, making it an ideal material for building construction.
- Versatility: Concrete can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of construction projects. It can be used to create structures such as buildings, bridges, roads, and foundations. It can also be used for decorative purposes, such as in the creation of sidewalks, patios, and driveways.
- Low Maintenance: Concrete requires minimal maintenance, making it an economical choice for construction projects. It does not rot, warp, or rust, so it does not need to be replaced as often as other materials.
- Energy Efficiency: Concrete is an energy-efficient material because it has a high thermal mass. This means that it can absorb and store heat, making it suitable for use in the construction of energy-efficient buildings. Concrete can also be used in the construction of green roofs, which can help to reduce the urban heat island effect and reduce energy consumption in buildings.
- Sustainable: Concrete can be made with recycled materials, such as fly ash and slag, which helps to reduce the environmental impact of construction projects. In addition, concrete can be recycled and used in the construction of new buildings and other structures, reducing the need for new raw materials.
- Cost-Effective: Concrete is generally less expensive than other construction materials, such as wood or steel. It is also easy to work with and can be produced in large quantities, making it a cost-effective choice for large construction projects.
- Noise Reduction: Concrete can help to reduce noise pollution in urban areas by absorbing sound waves. It is often used in the construction of walls, floors, and ceilings to reduce the transmission of noise between rooms or buildings.
In conclusion, concrete is a strong, durable, and versatile construction material that has a number of benefits for both residential and commercial construction projects. It is low maintenance, energy-efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of construction projects.
