How Getting Your Concrete Job Done Works
- 01
Send the job details.
Fill in the quote form or call [PHONE-TBD]. A rough size, the suburb and what's there now is plenty to start.
- 02
Site measure and written quote.
A local concreter comes out, measures up and talks through finish and access. You get a written quote back, and what a concrete driveway costs is worth a read if you want numbers beforehand.
- 03
The pour.
Prep first: removal if there's old concrete, then base, formwork and mesh. The pour and finish follow, and the site is left clean.
- 04
Aftercare.
New concrete needs time to cure, so you get clear guidance on when foot traffic and cars can go back on. The concreter confirms timings for your finish before wrapping up.
Concreting Costs at a Glance
Typical Melbourne concreting runs $65 to $150 per square metre supplied and laid, based on published Australian concreting cost guides, compiled July 2026. Where a job lands in that range comes down to the finish, the job type and how easy the site is to work on. Treat those as typical Melbourne prices; your own block, access and finish set the real number, and a small path with tight access prices differently to a big open driveway.
The guides break it down properly: start with the concrete driveway cost guide if it's a driveway, use the concrete slab cost guide and its calculator for sheds and garages, or go straight to concrete cost per m2 for the full rate table by finish.

Concreting Questions Melbourne Homeowners Ask
How much does concreting cost in Melbourne?
Concreting in Melbourne typically costs $65 to $150 per square metre supplied and laid, going by published Australian concreting cost guides, compiled July 2026. That range is market-typical rather than a quote: finish, job type and access decide where your job lands. The concrete cost per m2 guide breaks the range down by finish and job type.
Do you only do residential concreting?
Yes. Northside Concreting takes on residential concreting only: driveways, slabs, paths and outdoor concrete for homes and residential investment properties across Melbourne's inner north. We don't take on commercial or civil work, which keeps quoting, scheduling and standards built around house-scale jobs.
Which suburbs around Coburg do you service?
Northside Concreting is based in Coburg and services suburbs within 10 to 15 km across Melbourne's inner north, including Brunswick, Preston, Pascoe Vale, Thornbury and Essendon. If you're close but not sure you're inside the radius, check every suburb we cover or just ask when you enquire.
How long does new concrete take to cure before I can use it?
New concrete is usually ready for foot traffic after a few days and for vehicles after about a week, with driveways often given longer to be safe. Standard industry guidance is that concrete keeps gaining strength for around 28 days, so go gently on it in the first month. The concreter will confirm exact timings for your job and finish.
Do I need a council permit for a new driveway crossover?
A new or rebuilt driveway crossover needs a permit from the local council, because the crossover, the section between your property line and the road, sits on council land. Around Coburg that's Merri-bek City Council. The concreter's quote should account for the permit, and the driveway crossovers section explains what's involved.
How do I get a quote?
To get a quote, fill in the form on the get a quote page or call [PHONE-TBD]. Give us the suburb, a rough size and what you're after. We'll be in touch within one business day, and from there it's the site measure and your written quote.
