Residents in Queensland can expect to pay around $2,000 for a standard 30 m2 concrete driveway or approx $65/ m2 which includes both labour and materials. The overall cost will depend on the overall size of the quote, preferred finish and decorations to the driveway. If your driveway is on a slant for example, this can easily …
4 inches. For a non-reinforced pavement, a thickness of four inches is standard for passenger car driveways. However, for 5 or 6 inches thickness, reinforcement is necessary, and such breadth works well for heavier vehicles.
Concrete driveways tend to last longer than the asphalt driveways, however are normally more expensive to construct. Concrete can also tend to crack during winter or suffer damage in case you use the wrong de-icing protection. On the other hand, Asphalt is flexible, and therefore less likely to crack. However, it requires more maintenance than …
A concrete slab or foundation is a major structural element of modern buildings and homes. Slabs have a thickness of between 100mm and 500mm and are used to construct horizontal surfaces like floors, ceilings and roof decks.
On average, a 20×20 slab will cost around $2,500. The cost per square foot is between $4 and $8 on average. However, most property owners spend on average between $5.35 to $6.17 per square foot for both materials and installation. The final number depends on slabs size, thickness, and any special reinforcement, e.g., wire mesh …
Similar to doing concrete driveways, this will be affected by the overall area, thickness, accessibility and type of the slab in mind. The average cost for a company to do slab work would be around $60/ m2. However this can vary from $40-85/m2 depending on thickness.
This is dependant on the purpose of the foundation being laid, but the minimum should be 5cm. If the slab is thicker, this means it will be more durable, so for residential constructions, we normally recommend minimum of 10cm for a concrete shed or house slab.

Adding a layer of concrete over existing concrete doesn’t join the two because the cement in the concrete doesn’t have a natural bonding agent. That means the concrete sits as a separate layer on top of the existing one. Thus, it doesn’t produce a robust and serviceable floor. Additionally, when you bond a block of …
