About Us
The Crew Behind the Concrete
Fifteen years pouring concrete on northern Tasmanian ground, in northern Tasmanian weather. Small enough that the person who quotes your job is on site when it is poured, and big enough to get it done properly.
- Free on-site measure
- One written price
- Same crew, quote to pour
Who We Are
A Launceston Crew, Not a Franchise
We are a Launceston concreting crew rather than a franchise or a broker. The work is done by the people you meet at the quote, and nothing gets handed to a subcontractor halfway through, which is the point where most concreting jobs start to go wrong.
Most of what we do is residential: driveways, house and shed slabs, patios, paths, pool surrounds and the seven decorative finishes. We also do the excavation and the pumping that go with them, so one crew handles the ground and the concrete and nobody is blaming the other trade about levels.
The thing we care most about is the half of the job you never see. Concrete is easy to make look right on the day. Whether it is still flat and uncracked in ten years is decided underneath it, weeks earlier, by how the ground was prepared.
- Free on-site measure and a written price
- The same crew from quote to pour
- Excavation, pumping and concrete in one job
- Northern Tasmanian ground and weather
- One price for the job, not a rate per metre
- We will tell you when not to spend the money
How We Work
Three Things We Do Differently
Not claims about being friendly and reliable. Three specific things you can check against any other quote you get.
01
The Ground Gets Done Before the Concrete Does
Topsoil off, fill removed rather than covered, crushed rock in layers and compacted each time. It is invisible, it is where every corner gets cut in this trade, and it is the single reason a slab is still flat in ten years.
02
We Price the Job, Not the Square Metre
A rate per square metre hides everything that actually costs money, the access, what is there now, the ground underneath, the drainage. You get one written price for the whole job with the things that could change it named up front.
03
We Will Talk You Out of Things
Out of a pump you do not need, a repair that will not last, a finish that is wrong where you want to put it. There is a version of that on nearly every page of this site, and it is the part of how we work that we would most want you to check.
Our Team
Who Turns Up
A small crew, and the same one every time. Photographs are on their way, the roles below are what each person actually does on your job.

Site Foreman
Runs the set out, the formwork and the steel, and calls the pour. The person who decides whether the base is ready, which is the decision that matters most.

Finisher
Screed, float, texture and joints. The window between placing and finishing is a few hours and it is the part of the job that cannot be redone.

Plant Operator
The excavation, the site cuts and the pump. Gets the ground right and the concrete to where it is going, often through a gap you would not think it would fit.
Where to Start
The Three Pages Most People Read First
Concrete Driveways
The biggest slab most houses get, and the one everybody sees.
Concrete Slabs
House and shed slabs engineered to the site classification.
Decorative Concrete
Seven finishes, and the page to start on if you are undecided.
Common Questions
Questions About Us
How long have you been concreting in Launceston?
Fifteen years on northern Tasmanian ground. That matters more than it sounds, concrete gains strength slowly below about ten degrees and a good part of our year is there, so mix, timing and curing all get planned around the season rather than treated as an afterthought.
Do you use subcontractors?
No. The crew that quotes your job is the crew that pours it. We also do our own excavation and pumping, so the ground and the concrete are one job with one set of levels rather than two trades pointing at each other when something is out.
What size jobs do you take on?
Mostly residential, driveways, house and shed slabs, patios, paths and pool surrounds, from a few square metres to a full house slab. We will tell you honestly when a very small job is not worth the callout on its own, and suggest putting a few things into one visit instead.
How far do you travel?
Launceston and the surrounding northern Tasmanian suburbs, and further out for larger jobs. If you are not sure whether you are in range, ask. It costs nothing to check and the answer is usually yes.
