Terms of Service

Who Performs the Work

Northside Concreting is a client-connection service. When you submit an enquiry, your details are passed to Northside Concreting's local concreting partner(s), who may contact you, quote the job and carry out the work. Northside Concreting does not itself perform concreting work.

That paragraph is the basis for everything else on this page. The same disclosure sits in the footer of every page on the site, and the about page explains how it works in practice.

Enquiries and Quotes

Sending the quote form or calling us is an enquiry, and only that. No contract exists until you accept a concreter's written quote, and the quote itself is free.

If the job suits, a local concreter comes out, measures up and gives you a written quote. That price is the concreter's own. If you accept it, the contract for the work is formed between you and that concreter, including any written contract Victorian building law requires for the job, and the concreter invoices you directly when the work is done. Northside Concreting stays outside that contract and never takes payment from you.

Pricing Information on This Site

The figures on this site's cost guides and service pages are researched typical Melbourne market ranges, drawn from published Australian concreting cost guides and compiled in July 2026. They exist to give you a realistic starting point before anyone visits your place.

Guide figures are general information, not quotes and not binding offers. Prices move, and every block, finish and access situation prices differently. The number that counts for your job is the written quote a concreter gives you after a site measure; where a guide figure and a written quote differ, the written quote wins.

Website Content

Everything published on this site is general information about residential concreting, written to help homeowners weigh up a job. It is not structural, engineering or building advice for your property.

Where a guide mentions an Australian Standard, such as AS 2870 for residential slabs and footings or AS 3600 for concrete structures, that is a reference to a published public standard, included for context. What your own job needs is settled at the site measure, and anything structural deserves advice specific to your block.

We work to keep the content accurate and current, and the pricing clause above covers how to read the numbers.

Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law. When a concreter carries out work for you, the ACL's consumer guarantees, including that services are provided with due care and skill and within a reasonable time, apply to that work under your contract with the concreter. The same law applies to what Northside Concreting does as a connection service. These terms sit alongside those rights rather than replacing them.

Liability and Disputes

We take care with what we publish, and the site exists to line you up with a measured, written quote. Decisions about your job should rest on that quote and the site measure, along with your own professional advice where a job is structural, rather than on a guide page alone.

The concreting work itself is performed under your contract with the concreter, and responsibility for the work, its workmanship, materials and timing, sits with the concreter under that contract and the Australian Consumer Law. If something about the work isn't right, raise it with your concreter first. You're also welcome to tell us through the enquiry form; we want to know how connected jobs turn out.

For concerns about your personal information, follow the process in the privacy policy, which ends at the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner if we can't resolve it together. For consumer issues with concreting work in Victoria, Consumer Affairs Victoria is the government body to talk to. Whatever the dispute, the previous section stands: nothing in these terms takes away a right the Australian Consumer Law gives you.
