The Types of Jobs We Take On
Residential Concreting
Homeowners often come to us for different types of concrete jobs. Common ones would include slabs for homes and businesses, as well as driveways and shed slabs. We also get smaller jobs like patios and footpaths along residential properties. Regardless, we make sure to do a good job for any of these requests. What we often find is that any poorly built concrete surfaces tend to come from poor preparation and concrete pouring. This leads towards problems that grow over time and can form cracks on your concrete. Garages that are uneven can pool water and start dusting if they are brittle. Our concrete contractors in Bathurst, NSW will assess your project well and understand what it needs before starting so that the finished surface looks great and holds up for a long time.
Commercial Concreting
Businesses generally need surfaces that are hardy and tough, that can handle daily traffic from vehicles and people without dusting or breaking down. We generally get requests from people needing commercial driveways, warehouse floors, and even public footpaths that carry more load and endure more stress than regular home concrete. If your concrete isn’t designed for this level of durability, it can very easily fail. This ends up leading to an expensive replacement or high repair costs, which disrupt your business operations. Our concreting experts make sure to properly reinforce your concrete to ensure your surfaces are properly supported and poured to the right depth. This way, your concrete can handle the pressure and the work is planned to minimise the disruption to your business. There’s no need to shut down any longer than necessary.
Our Concreting Process
Getting concrete done right essentially comes down to a couple things, the right process to follow and experience curing the concrete. If parts are skipped and rushed, you may miss a foundational piece that supports your concrete through ground movement and surface pressure. By following a clear, precise process that is used in every job, we avoid scenarios where external pressure is bore solely by your concrete but spread throughout the surface. We do this so issues like cracks and poor drainage don’t happen to your concrete.
Here’s our entire concrete installation process:
1. Site Visit and Planning
To start off, our concreters come out to your property and assess you space. This helps us get specifications and check ground conditions to give you a proper quote.
2. Quote and Scheduling
After this, we give you a clear quote without hidden prices and shows the entire scope of works. Once this has been accepted, we plan the job and decide on a start date.
3. Preparation and Setup
We make sure to handle all the groundwork on the day including excavation, formwork, and installing reinforcement for your concrete. This ensures it stays stable and strong.
4. Pouring and Finishing
After this, we pour the right mix of concrete for your job, then level and finish it to suit your surface. You now have a customised concrete project completed for your surface.
5. Curing and Clean Up
After the pour, we ensure that your concrete cures properly and not too quickly by limiting sun exposure and adding water if your concrete dries too quickly. This keeps the strength in your concrete.

Why Go With Bathurst Concreting
Choosing the right contactor does make a difference to how the outcome looks. Concrete isn’t something where there is capacity to have trial and error. You either do a good job pouring a slab or mess up the project. You may partially fix it by grinding or sealing, but that doesn’t fix the internal structure of your concrete slab. At Bathurst Concreting, we focus on ensuring the job is done right from the beginning, adding proper foundations and reinforcements for your concrete, then pouring it with the right mix so that your concrete isn’t too wet, nor does it dry too fast, allowing it to maintain its strength through the curing process. This way you don’t deal with cracks over time from soil movement, and drainage isn’t a problem as the crushed gravel foundation we prepare underneath properly filters water down. Here are some reasons past clients loved working with us:
Proper Prep Comes First
Concrete problems usually occur below the surface. Our team ensures we do a great job preparing your base properly, which keeps your concrete foundation strong and any pressure is spread out instead of being targeted at a specific area, allowing your concrete to be stable and not crack under soil movement or concentrated pressure by vehicles above it.
Built for Local Conditions
Bathurst tends to have hot summers and cold winter mornings, the varying temperature can affect how your concrete performs. Low temperatures ca cause your concrete to freeze and shrink, and heat gets it to expand. This weakens your concrete internally. We offer moisture barrier systems to protect your concrete from absorbing water.
Clear, Precise Process
Throughout the job, you’ll know what’s happening from start to finish as our team rolls out a full, guided process for each job we take on. With proper site preparation through to the concrete pouring and curing at the end, we keep things organised to produce the final result you’re looking for.
Work That Holds Up
Our team focuses on getting the job done right the first time with our solid process. However, not just that, we choose the right materials, prepare your concrete mix properly, and set up reinforcement with excellence. Each of these things leads to more durable concrete.
If you’re looking at getting a concrete job done yourself, it’s important to get it done properly right from the start. Speaking to many customers in the area who have gotten cheap, fast jobs in the past has left them regretting it afterwards. When working with our concrete company in Bathurst, NSW, you don’t get the same level of service; you get a proper, precise job done by our contractors. Contact us to get started with no guesswork or rushed jobs.
Heavy Duty Concrete Driveways in Bathurst, NSW
A driveway tends to take daily punishment from constant vehicle traffic, which puts concentrated pressure on certain parts of your concrete. Faced with weather changes, when not built to the right thickness and without proper reinforcement, your concrete can weaken over time. This usually shows in the form of cracks and deterioration on the surface, quicker than it should. Our concrete contractors in Bathurst, NSW design your driveways to hold even heavy vehicles like trucks parked on it for long periods of time. We do this by preparing your base properly, setting up proper foundations and rebars, then pouring it with a perfect mix suited to Bathurst’s weather so it cures well. Finally, we add a finish that suits your visual preference for the space, whether a broom, stencilled, or smooth finish. You end up with a driveway that holds up for many years down the line.
Concrete Patios for Outdoor Entertaining
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, solid area you can use for outdoor entertainment, relaxation or generic outdoor use, a concrete patio is perfect. An empty backyard without one ends up leading to an uneven surface that isn’t hard and steady. Our concrete contractors first look at the size of your space and design your patios accordingly, to ensure there is proper drainage for them and you’ve got a finish that is suited for your use. We can provide grippy finishes like a broom finish or even exposed aggregate if you’d like more textured look. We promise you a patio that looks not only looks great visually, but holds up long term for your use.
Concrete Slabs for Solid Build Foundations
The most important structural part of every building, whether a home, garage, shed, or commercial business, is the foundation - a proper concrete slab. This starts off as the base that everything gets built on top of, and needs to hold the pressure of your building on top of it. A slab that is poorly poured ends up being weak, and a weak foundation is not something you’d want to build everything on top of. Our concrete experts handle the entire end-to-end process to deliver a slab that is rock solid for your build project. We start off with excavation, adding a compact base, reinforcement through rebars and wire meshes, and then the pour itself, which is cured perfectly to exceed every Australian building standard to last for multiple decades easily without maintenance. Whether you’re looking to get a small shed slab or a full house slab, our team is the right one to go to where you can get a foundation that is guaranteed to be dense and durable for your building.
Concrete Paths for Bathurst Homes and Businesses
A concrete path should look more than just tidy, it helps to protect your lawn, increase curb appeal, and is a stable footpath to walk through your yard, park, or street. There can be many options to get a path installed - Dirt and gravel paths can get uenven very quickly from wet weather and constant foot traffic, whereas wooden timber paths can rot from rain over time. Our contractors lay concrete pathways with proper formwork so that they are properly sized, able to flex without cracking if there is ground movement, and sloped correctly to allow for drainage. We factor all of this into your pathway so that it can last you a long time whilst being safe to walk on. We finish the job with a finish that provides enough grip for you whilst meeting the visual look you’d like for it. So whether you’d like a short garden path or a footpath for a large space, Bathurst Concreting has got you covered.

Our team will look at a range of factors to ensure your concrete is poured optimally and get the project done with quality and excellence. Many variables can affect the state of your concrete over time, from ground movement, weather changes, and daily wear, but we take this into account in every job and make sure your final result is clean, reinforced, and durable for a long time.

FAQs
How much is concrete per m² in NSW?
In regional NSW, the average cost for a professional concrete installation typically ranges from $100 to $160 per square meter.
- Plain Concrete: $100 – $120 per m²
- Reinforced Concrete: $120 – $150 per m² (Recommended)
- Decorative (Exposed Aggregate): $150 – $200+ per m²
Note: Prices in Bathurst, NSW may fluctuate slightly based on site accessibility and the distance the "ready-mix" truck has to travel from the plant.
Do concreters need a license in NSW?
Yes. In New South Wales, any person carrying out residential building work (including concreting) valued at more than $5,000 (incl. labor and materials) must hold a valid contractor license from NSW Fair Trading. Always check your contractor’s license number before signing a contract to ensure you are covered by Home Building Compensation insurance.
What is the 4-2-1 rule for concrete?
The 4-2-1 rule is a traditional ratio for mixing standard-strength concrete. It stands for:
- 4 parts Gravel (Aggregate)
- 2 parts Sand
- 1 part Cement
This ratio provides a solid balance of strength and workability. For structural slabs in New South Wales, most professionals use a pre-mixed 25MPa or 32MPa concrete from a local plant to ensure consistency against the local freeze-thaw cycles.
How much will a 20x20 concrete slab cost?
It depend if you're measure in feet or metres.
- 20ft x 20ft (~37m²): This is roughly a standard double-garage size. You can expect to pay between $4,000 and $6,000 for a reinforced slab.
- 20m x 20m (400m²): This is a massive industrial-sized slab. A professional pour of this scale would typically range from $45,000 to $65,000+, depending on the thickness and the amount of steel reinforcement required.
How high are concrete slabs?
"Height" usually refers to the thickness of the slab. Standards vary by the intended use:
- Patios/Footpaths: 75mm – 100mm thick.
- Residential Driveways/Sheds/Garages: 100mm - 150mm thick (with SL72 or SL82 mesh).
- Heavy Vehicle Industrial Slabs: Depends, but can exceed 200mm tohandle heavy machinery and poor soil conditions (Clay in Orange, NSW).
How far will a 20 kg bag of concrete go?
A standard 20 kg bag of pre-mixed concrete doesn't go very far! One 20 kg bag yields approximately 0.01 cubic meters of wet concrete.
To cover 1 m² at a standard depth of 100mm, you would need roughly 10 to 11 bags. If you are just doing a small patch or post-hole, a few bags are fine. For a full slab, ordering a truck is significantly more cost-effective. That's where our concreting services come in, to tackle larger scale jobs you've got.
