Who We Are
Bathurst Concreting is a locally owned and operated business. Our concrete contractors in Bathurst, NSW have done a range of projects, from small residential home slabs to large commercial driveways and footpaths. This broad range of experiences allows us to tackle a variety of jobs you need done, and we use that to sharpen our processes and provide precise concrete installations that are always cured well to achieve their optimal strength. Depending on what you are getting, the depths and methods we use would slightly differ, as different structures would need different solutions. Our experienced contractors will be able to help you anyway, so reach out to at least talk with our experts before you choose someone to do the job for you.
The Services We Provide

Every job that is done is managed by our own concreting team; we don’t hand any work off to subcontractors, so that means you’re working with one company with one point of contact. Our team does a great job assessing your site and working with you on the architecture of your concrete project before providing you a quote. The standard we commit to is the standard you get.
Local Experts in Bathurst, NSW
If you’ve lived in Bathurst for a while, you know Bathurst has a specific climate that is quite different to other states and towns in Australia. The cold winters Bathurst experiences affect how your concrete performs with its cold winters. When moisture seeps into your concrete due to poor drainage, water freezes near the top of your concrete and can cause internal cracks and dusting in your concrete. Dryer seasons during summer can also affect the curing process in Bathurst, which needs to be accounted for. Outside of this, Bathurst is quick to become rich in Clay soil, which gets reactive and moves easily in the ground. This puts pressure on your slabs from its sides as well as underneath your concrete. Our concreting experts account for all of this using a precise process that makes sure we give your concrete a solid foundational base, tied with proper depth of your concrete pour, and a solid curing process to ensure you’ve got dense and reinforced concrete.
Our Values
Working with us means you’ll be working with honest and transparent workers who provide you with clear quotes from the start. As a spoiler, our company definitely isn’t the cheapest, but we show that in our straightforward working and integrity in the job. We visit every site before we quote; we follow our airtight process and don’t cut corners for preparation. Site preparation is one of the most important parts of any concreting job, yet it is the easiest to rush with a team just looking to get the job done and get paid. Our team takes base preparation seriously, excavating well, compacting the crushed gravel properly before laying it down, and making sure it sets a sloped foundation for drainage.
Ultimately, working with our contractors who are embedded with these values for honest, excellent work means you’ll get jobs that are done well no matter what size they are. You’ll get a slab, patio, or footpath that exceeds Australian Standards and lasts you a very long time. Contact us today to get your own concrete project started right away.
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.
