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.
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.
Get two or three itemised quotes.
Compare excavation, base preparation, slab thickness, reinforcement, finish and clean-up separately.
Ask about thickness and reinforcement.
Driveways need a thicker slab and steel reinforcement to carry vehicles. Get the specification in writing.
Ask about control joints and curing.
Well-placed joints and proper curing reduce cracking. Ask how they handle both.
Check council requirements for driveways.
Work on the council footpath or a new driveway crossover usually needs council approval. Ask who arranges it.
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.

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

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