Concreting cost in Adelaide

Concreting is priced per square metre for a plain pour, with exposed aggregate, stamped and coloured finishes costing more for the extra material and finishing labour. Larger jobs cost less per square metre than small ones because setup, formwork and delivery are spread across more area.

Common questions

What is the difference between plain and exposed aggregate concrete?

Plain concrete is the cheapest structural option at $75 to $150 per square metre. Exposed aggregate exposes decorative stone in the surface and costs more at $120 to $200 per square metre for the extra material and finishing labour.

How much does a standard concrete driveway cost?

A plain 40 square metre driveway typically totals $2,600 to $6,000 supplied and installed. Choosing stamped or stencilled concrete, priced at $120 to $200 per square metre, pushes the total higher.

What does a shed slab cost?

A 20 square metre shed slab typically runs $1,500 to $3,500, depending on thickness, reinforcement and how much site preparation is needed.

Is a concrete path cheaper than a driveway?

Per square metre a path runs a similar $75 to $160, but the total job cost is smaller simply because paths cover less area than a driveway.
