at a guess, somewhere around the $18,000 mark for the job, a lot can depend on how much the concreters charge, you need to shop around, some deal only in house slabs and can be reasonably priced
reo, bar chairs, trench mesh etc shop around, prices can vary widely, you may find yourself easily saving a few hundred $$, garden / building supplies (here at least) usually carry reo, trench mesh etc

On them money my quote is $18000.00 exactly. The puzzling thing is I spoke to a guy around the corner from me who had his slab poured around 3 months ago and his slab was 300m2 and he paid $13000.00. Same class site with thickenings and footing detail. The contractor did not use a pump but this is costs around $1000.00 ??. Looks like I have some more homework to do.

We had a shed slab done. It was 7.5 x 12, with thickened edge all round and cost a tad over $75/m2. That included 4 rather deep post footings. It was a level site, pretty easy access, and the concreters did everthing.
Cheers.

That works out to be $43 a square meter. Sounds like someone is telling porkies. Thats pretty much cost,if that, and a good way to go broke. Slabs aren't fun to do and can be tricky, not to mention hard work. There is only one chance to get it right. Any one can concrete but not everyone can get themselves out of the &^@# if things start to go pear shape.
Looks like the prices vary slightly in different places in Oz. On average, $80-$85 seems the norm. Supply and demand plays a big factor by the looks of it.

I have costed everything up and I get $12173.78 in materials only.
45m3 @ $187.00 m3 inc gst m3 = $8415.00
26 sheets trench mesh @ $32.67inc ea = $693.42
17 sheets SL72 mesh @$80.08inc ea = $1361.36
chairs 100 qty @ $38.50
Boom pump 3 hrs $1137.50
Mini Excavator 4 hrs $350.00
70 qty N12 ties @ $2.50ea $175.00
These prices are retail and I am sure a regular costomer would get them cheaper.
Would 3 hours be enough for a boom pump to pour 36.7m3
They normally pour footings one day then thickners and slab the next.
So would labour normally be $5826.22??

Formwork!
If it is not right, then the whole thing is kaput.
A friend did his own, and when the mix was poured, it collapsed.

Pumps usually charge min 4hrs plus travel. Plus around $4-$5.00 per cubic.
"They normally pour footings one day then thickners and slab the next"
Thats two days so far without allowances for formwork, slab prep and ground works.
Seems to be at least 4 days work at around $350 per man with all legals included. (w/c, super etc...). Say three men per day. $4200.00 so far. Fuel, formwork, all equipment for the right job (trowelling machine, laser level, nails, pegs etc...
Profits are getting smaller. I reckon they are right on the money with that quote.

an example, a person off the street will be charged about $170 - $180 per m3 for concrete, a high volume account customer can get the same concrete for $100 per m3, that is a $3k saving, SL72 reo, $55 a sheet etc, so the cost of materials could well be down to the $7k mark, as for formwork, it is not as if the contractors buy all new formwork for each and every job... as for labour, quite common for that to be about the same price as the cost of materials. So if the quote is $18k, they are working aon about $9k for materials, not bad for a couple of days of work for a crew of 5 or 6
(do remember though, house slabs are a big job to do right, not a job for the home handyman to tackle, thats for sure)

29th February 2008, 07:11 PM #28I have been told that this amount of concrete will require pumping and the footings/thickners will be machine dug.
