Select the Optimal Pricing Model: Flat Rate vs. Hourly Rates for Your Concrete Pumping Needs

At Hunter Concrete Pumps, we offer transparent and straightforward pricing designed to meet the diverse requirements of various construction jobs and scheduling needs.

This pricing structure is particularly advantageous for smaller projects or single-load pours, such as residential concrete slabs, footings, or pool bases. By adopting a clear pricing approach, we ensure that you have an accurate understanding of your expenses, making it significantly easier to manage your budget without the worry of hidden fees or unforeseen charges.

Flexible Hourly Rate Pricing for Larger and More Complex Concrete Pours

• Hourly Rate: $190 per hour
• Minimum Hire: 3 hours
• Travel Rate: $190
• Per Cubic Metre Pumped: $6
• Primer (if required): $15

This pricing option is particularly well-suited for larger or more intricate pours, where both the amount of concrete and the time needed can vary widely. It offers the necessary flexibility to ensure that you only pay for the services required, tailored to the precise needs of your construction endeavor.

Essential Elements Impacting Your Concrete Pumping Costs

1. Duration of Pumping Operations
The longer the pump operates, the higher the associated costs will be. Factors such as complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete delivery trucks can all contribute to increased time spent on-site. Our experienced team is available to assist you in estimating the necessary duration for your specific project, ensuring that you have realistic expectations regarding the anticipated costs.

2. Total Volume of Concrete Pumped
When you choose the hourly rate, pumping is billed at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing model is designed to account for the wear and tear on our equipment, as well as the labour costs involved as the volume increases. This clarity in our pricing allows you to engage in more effective financial planning for your project.

3. Distance to Your Construction Site
We serve a broad area extending from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Depending on the distance, a fixed travel fee of $190 may apply, which covers the mobilisation of our equipment, fuel expenses, and crew time. This transparent approach ensures that you are well-informed about any potential costs before starting your project.

4. Job Setup and Additional Crew Assistance Requirements
Our basic hire package includes an operator for the pump; however, if your project necessitates extra assistance with hose management or pour coordination, please let us know. We can provide additional skilled crew members at an extra cost, which will be quoted in advance to ensure complete clarity and eliminate any unexpected surprises.
