Transforming outdoor spaces into havens, we helped these awesome clients in Pegasus bring their vision to life, a private retreat and newly landscaped area complete with foundation for proposed Man cave, and clothesline service area. Our team worked tirelessly, excavating 50 tons of soil the old fashioned way by wheel barrow having limited access installing sump and new drainage before preparing for the new concrete areas

With been extremely busy, here's a few snippets of what we've been up to the last couple of weeks

Couldn’t agree more with our mates over at NS Reid .
We are definitely with yas on this !!

Today’s thoughts on the concrete trade:

It’s frustrating to see how every trade seems to raise their prices for call-outs and travel, but as concreters, we often lose jobs just for putting our prices up.

With everyone undercutting each other, it’s driving down both our prices and quality. After over 10 years in the game, our m2 rate for floors has only gone up by $1.50! Compare that to other trades and it’s absolutely nuts!!

Isn’t it time we consider a concrete union like the brickies have? A union could set a minimum price and help us get what we deserve. Concrete placers are some of the hardest workers and their bodies take a beating, yet they’re often the lowest paid.

I wonder how many concrete placers or businesses would actually like to be a part of a union?
