📅 When to book
Plain pours 2-4 weeks. Decorative work (exposed aggregate, polished, stamped) needs 3-6 weeks for material lead-time. Avoid wet-season pours where possible.
📋 License & verification
Concrete work over $3,300 requires QBCC license. Structural slabs (homes, retaining) need engineer-certified design + QBCC builder, not just a concreter.
⚠️ Common mistakes
- •Skipping the moisture barrier on a slab — leads to rising damp years later
- •Ordering inadequate concrete strength for the application — N20 for footpath, N25 minimum for driveway, N32+ for structural
- •Under-speccing reinforcement or thickness for the load — a driveway carrying vehicles needs more than a path; under-spec concrete cracks and can't be patched cheaply
Concreting in Northern Coast — FAQs
How long before I can drive on a new driveway?
Foot traffic at 24 hours, light vehicles at 7 days, heavy trucks at 28 days when concrete reaches design strength. Don't park heavy vehicles or trailers on it before then.
What's the difference between exposed aggregate and stamped concrete?
Exposed aggregate reveals the stone within the mix — durable, slip-resistant, costs ~30% more than plain. Stamped concrete is texturally pressed to look like pavers or tiles — high upfront cost but no jointing maintenance.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in SEQ?
Plain concrete is cheapest per square metre; exposed aggregate and coloured finishes cost more, and stamped or polished more again. Site prep, fall, drainage and access drive the final number — get an on-site measure-and-quote.
How long before I can drive on new concrete?
You can usually walk on it after 24-48 hours, but wait about 7 days before driving a car onto a new driveway and up to 28 days for full strength. Loading it early is a common cause of cracking.
