Cornubia is larger blocks and bigger houses on the eastern side of Logan, built mainly through the late 1980s and the 1990s. Pools are common, blocks are generous, and the concrete work tends to come in sizeable jobs rather than small patches.
One thing worth saying plainly. We do not do the work. We are a referral service that passes your job to experienced, insured local concreters covering Cornubia.
Common concreting jobs in Cornubia
- Replacing driveways, often long runs in exposed aggregate
- Pool surrounds and equipment pads

- Shed, workshop and studio slabs
- Repairs to cracked driveways and surrounds
How the process works
Tell us about the job and your suburb. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Cornubia, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
On a long driveway, decide where the concrete stops before you get quotes. It is the single biggest lever on the total, and it is a decision only you can make.
What concreting costs in Cornubia
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, with coloured and exposed aggregate finishes above that. Area usually works in your favour here. Access to the back of a large block is the thing that adds cost, most often as pump hire. See the cost guide for the full breakdown.
Two things to have in writing before you sign. In Queensland, building work valued over $3,300 generally requires a QBCC licensed contractor, so ask for the licence number and check it on the QBCC register. And approval requirements sit in the Building Regulation 2021, applied by Logan City Council and private building certifiers, so confirm what your job needs with the council or a certifier.
Nearby, we also cover Carbrook and Shailer Park.
Frequently asked questions
Is a long driveway cheaper per square metre?
Often yes, because long open runs let the crew work efficiently. Cartage and base material on soft ground can offset some of it.
Can I replace half the driveway now?
Yes, with a proper isolation joint at the break. It costs more in total than one pour but spreads the spend.
Should I seal an exposed aggregate driveway?
Yes, and reseal it every few years. Ask what sealer and how many coats are in the quote.
