About Bairnsdale Concreting

Who we are

We are a Bairnsdale-based concreting business focused on residential and rural work. Our crew does the excavation, the base, the formwork and steel, the pour and the finishing, so the people who quote your job are the people who build it. We are a contractor, not a concrete supply business, and we buy our concrete from local batching plants like everyone else in the trade.

How we run a job

Every job starts with a visit. We measure, check levels and drainage, dig a test hole and go over surface options, after which the itemised quote is emailed. Once you accept, we book the Shire permit if one is needed, schedule the excavation and the pour, and keep you posted when weather pushes a date around.

On the day we protect your garden, fences and the neighbour's side, place and finish the concrete, cut joints at the right time and leave the site tidy. You get written care notes covering when you can walk on it, when you can drive on it and when it should be sealed or resealed.

Knowing East Gippsland

Working out of Bairnsdale means we know the difference between a river-flat block in Lucknow, a hill site at Wy Yung, a sandy lot at Paynesville and a farm gateway out past Lindenow. We know where the flood overlays sit, which estates have driveway covenants, and how far a concrete truck will happily go along a narrow lakeside lane.

Permits, engineers and rules

Vehicle crossings need East Gippsland Shire consent, and highway access involves the state roads authority. House slabs and many sheds need engineering and a building permit, and properties rebuilt after bushfire may carry BAL requirements that affect what goes near the house. We work with your surveyor, engineer or builder and say clearly on the quote what is included.
