Shailer Park is 1980s and 1990s housing on larger blocks, a lot of it with pools, plus a number of unit and townhouse complexes from the same era. The concrete is now at the age where the whole outdoor area tends to come up for renewal together.
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 Shailer Park.

How the process works
Tell us about the job and your suburb. We pass the details to a local concreter who services Shailer Park, and they call you back with a quote. There is no fee for the referral.
If several jobs are on the list, get them all quoted together even if you only do some now. The pricing changes substantially when the crew is on site once rather than three times.
What concreting costs in Shailer Park
As a guide, plain concrete typically costs around $75 to $150 per square metre laid, with coloured and exposed aggregate finishes above that. Access to the back of the block is the usual swing factor. Pump hire is common, and large areas help the per square metre rate. 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 Loganholme and Cornubia.
Frequently asked questions
Can the pool surround and driveway be done in the same visit?
Often yes, if the levels and access allow. It is the cheapest way to do both.
Does a complex need body corporate approval for driveway work?
Work on common property is the body corporate's decision, so in almost every case yes.
Is resurfacing an option for a tired pool surround?
If the slab is sound and stable, yes, at roughly $50 to $90 per square metre. If it is moving, the new surface will crack too.
