How much does concreting cost in Brisbane?

Plain concrete in Brisbane typically costs $75–$150 per m², and a typical 40 m² plain driveway $2,600–$6,000. Prices include GST; the final quote depends on site access, excavation, removal of old concrete and the finish.

Tips before you book

  • Ask whether removing old concrete and excavation are included — they're often extra.
  • Ask about the concrete strength (MPa), slab thickness and reinforcement mesh for driveways.
  • Check whether your council needs a permit for a new driveway crossover.

How to choose a concreter in Brisbane

Concreting work valued over $3,300 must be done by a QBCC-licensed contractor in Queensland, and most driveways cost more than that, so the licence check comes first.

  1. Check their QBCC licence.

    Building work valued over $3,300 — including concreting — must be done by a QBCC-licensed contractor. Search the business on the QBCC licensee register (https://my.qbcc.qld.gov.au/myQBCC/s/qbcc-licensee-register) or call 139 333.

  2. Get two or three itemised quotes.

    Compare excavation, base preparation, slab thickness, reinforcement, finish and clean-up separately.

  3. Ask about thickness and reinforcement.

    Driveways need a thicker slab and steel reinforcement to carry vehicles. Get the specification in writing.

  4. Ask about control joints and curing.

    Well-placed joints and proper curing reduce cracking. Ask how they handle both.

  5. Check council requirements for driveways.

    Work on the council footpath or a new driveway crossover usually needs council approval. Ask who arranges it.

  6. Get a written contract for bigger jobs.

    In Queensland, domestic building work over $3,300 (including GST) needs a written, signed contract. Check it lists the scope, price, start date and how variations are handled.

  7. Check reviews and past work.

    Look for photos and reviews of finished driveways or slabs like yours.

If concreting work is defective, you can lodge a complaint with the QBCC on 139 333.

How much does a concrete driveway cost in Brisbane?

A typical 40 m² plain concrete driveway costs $2,600–$6,000, while an exposed aggregate driveway costs $4,800–$9,000. Removing an old driveway adds about $30–$100 per m².

How much does concrete cost per square metre in Brisbane?

Plain concrete typically costs $75–$150 per m², exposed aggregate $120–$200 per m², and stamped or stencilled finishes $120–$200 per m².

How much does a shed slab cost in Brisbane?

A typical 20 m² shed slab costs $1,500–$3,500, depending on site preparation and access.

Do concreters need a licence in Queensland?

Yes, for jobs over $3,300. Concreting work valued at more than $3,300 must be done by a contractor with a QBCC concreting (or builder) licence. Check the business on the QBCC licensee register.

Is exposed aggregate worth the extra cost?

Exposed aggregate costs more than plain concrete but is more slip-resistant and hides stains and wear better, which is why it's popular for driveways and pool surrounds.

How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?

Most concreters advise waiting about 7 days before driving on new concrete, and longer for heavy vehicles. Ask your concreter for advice for your mix and weather.

Do I need council approval for a driveway?

A new driveway crossover or work on the council footpath usually needs council approval. Ask your concreter whether they'll arrange it.

Is it free to request quotes through Top Local Trades?

Yes. Requesting quotes is free for homeowners, with no obligation. Select the concreters you want, describe the job once, and each business receives your request directly.

How are concreters ranked on this page?

Concreters are ordered by their Google rating weighted by review count, so a 5.0 from a few reviews doesn't outrank a 4.9 from hundreds. Businesses can't pay to change their position in the ranked list. See how we rank for the full method.
