Concreting work comes from two places: homeowners wanting driveways, paths and patios, and builders who need slabs and footings. Each needs a different approach, and most concreters only work one of them.
Homeowner work
- Photograph every finish: exposed aggregate, honed, coloured, stencilled. Finish choice is what homeowners care about most.
- Pages for each job type: driveways, exposed aggregate, patios and alfrescos, paths, pool surrounds.
- Price guidance per square metre as a range, with what changes it: access, removal of old concrete, finish.
- A quote form that accepts photos and measurements, so you can give a rough figure before visiting.
Builder and commercial work
- Introduce yourself to local builders, pool builders and landscapers who sub out concrete.
- Show your capacity: crew size, pump access, how quickly you can book in.
- Have insurance, safety documentation and references ready.

Timing
Wet weather delays pours and pushes jobs back. Keep customers informed, and use quieter wet weeks to quote and follow up.
