How Bullion Concrete approaches the site

- Review the driveway area and any old surface that needs removal or preparation.
- Form the driveway to the correct levels and prepare the base for vehicle traffic.
- Place and finish the concrete with suitable joints and curing advice.
What to prepare before booking
A short brief is usually enough to scope the next step. Helpful details include the suburb, rough dimensions, access width, photos, existing surface condition, preferred finish, timing and whether council or builder details are involved.
- Send photos of the driveway, side access, existing concrete, levels, drains and nearby doors or garages.
- Share plans, measurements, council crossover details or shed and garage specifications if available.
- Confirm whether old concrete needs removal, whether trucks can access the area and the finish you prefer.
