Holmview runs along the flats north of Beenleigh and up toward Bahrs Scrub, which gives it two kinds of street. There are established blocks with concrete that has been in the ground for decades, and there are newer houses where the builder handed over at the slab edge and the owner is still looking at dirt down the side.
A quick note on who we are. We do not pour concrete ourselves. We are a referral service, and we pass your job to experienced, insured local concreters who work across Holmview and the surrounding streets.
Common concreting jobs in Holmview
- First concrete driveways on recently handed-over blocks
- Side paths, alfresco slabs and patios finishing off a new build
- Replacing older cracked driveways on established blocks
- Shed and garage slabs
- Repairs to sunken panels and lifted paths
New build or old block, the quote changes near Beenleigh
On a new block the questions are about the fall across the frontage, whether the builder left a step at the garage, and whether the estate has design guidelines on driveway finish. On an established block the questions are about demolition, what the old base is like, and whether the crossover at the kerb is going too. Say which you have when you ask for a quote and you will get a more useful number.
How the process works
Tell us about the job and your suburb. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Holmview, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
If your house is still inside the builder's maintenance period, read the build contract before booking external works. Some builders ask that driveways wait until the period ends.
What concreting costs in Holmview
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, with coloured and exposed aggregate finishes above that. A bundled job, driveway plus side path plus patio slab, is the best value available here, because the setup and the delivery run get spread across more metres rather than charged three times. See the cost guide for the full breakdown.
In Queensland, building work valued over $3,300 generally requires a QBCC licensed contractor, and whether a job needs a building approval depends on what it is and where it sits. Those rules are in the Building Regulation 2021, and Logan City Council and private building certifiers apply them. Ask the concreter to confirm licensing and approvals in the written quote before you sign.

Frequently asked questions
Can I pour a driveway before the builder's maintenance period ends?
Often yes, but check the contract first. Some builders want external works held until handover or the end of the period, and some estates set rules on driveway finish and colour.
How much of the block should I do at once?
As much as the budget allows. The fixed costs of a pour are the same whether it is 20 square metres or 70, so bundling is where the saving is.
What soil type should I assume for the slab?
None. Site classification under the Australian standard is done per block, and it is what sets the slab design and the reinforcement. Ask for the classification rather than a suburb-wide assumption.
