Thread: concreting + garage shed

Do it for a living, but my travel costs maybe a little much for you. My only advice from this distance is to ensure whoever you get is licensed to do the work you require. FYI and not sure about NSW, but work under $1100 in Qld does not required a licensed tradie.

good luck

cheerio

and thanks

we are in the same boat......so I guess we could help each other out if either finds someone good and reasonable.

perhaps they may do us a aulro deal

i cant help you guys with the concreting......but i can say to have a really smooth finish on it......
its like they seal the surface with cement......

any oils or other spills can easily be cleaned up with a bit of white spirits or turps or kero or similar.....
it wont soak in and it wont stain.......




this is just incase someone with a toymota comes to visit......and parks in your shed.....
you dont want any oil stains......

Burnish the slab!

thanks paul,

what should I expect to pay for a 6mx8.5m (garage) plus 4x6 (drive way) slab well that's the total.


zookie let me know when you find someone, so will I!

cheers

Hi
Depending on slabe thickness and mesh required as a minimum and any earthworks, but work on $60-90 p/sqm.
I am unable to give exact price due to area where u live, but ring a couple of contractors and see what they charge per sqm. Depends of Mpa of concrete too but 25mpa is pretty standard and than a level of finish and remember control joints, even if they say it will not need them, it will and the control joints hide the cracks in the joint.

Normal thickness is 100mm and you can work out your supply price of concrete there also plus steel and saddles etc.
Put your electrical under slab too if you can and any water pipes or at least sleeves for future work or irrigation to cross the driveway.

Good luck,

For chrissakes make sure you get the slab rebated for the doors to slot into.
The guys who built my Titan didn;t do this and water bloody floods in when it rains heaviliy.

Really irks me !
