What should a New Zealand concreting quote include?
Excavation, boxing, reinforcing, the pour and the finish each go on their own line, because the pour is rarely where a concreting quote goes wrong — the mix is a known cost, and it is the prep and the access that eat the margin when they are bundled into a lump sum. State the area, the thickness and the strength: a 100mm path and a 150mm driveway are not the same job, so write 25 MPa at 125mm rather than just concrete. Name the finish, whether plain, broom, exposed aggregate or coloured. Then show 15% GST separately with your NZBN and IRD GST number, and hold the price for a stated period subject to ready-mix supplier pricing.
Why does site access change a New Zealand concreting price so much?
Because it decides whether the truck can reach the pour at all. A street-front driveway takes a chute; a back section, a hill site or anything behind a house usually takes a pump, and pump hire is a real line on the quote rather than a rounding error. It is the single biggest swing in New Zealand concreting pricing, and it is worth walking the access before you put a number on the job. Quote the pump separately and state the assumption plainly — that truck and pump access to the pour area is assumed, and that standard ground is assumed with rock excavation or fill removal charged at cost — so a site that turns out to be worse than it looked becomes a priced variation.
Does the AI know New Zealand concreting pricing?
Yes. Quotes are priced in NZD against current New Zealand rates — plain, exposed aggregate and coloured finishes per square metre, excavation and site prep, concrete cutting and removal, ready-mix per cubic metre by MPa mix, and pump hire where access is tight — with 15% GST applied rather than Australia’s 10%. Regional differences are priced too, since Auckland and Wellington labour sits above Christchurch and regional New Zealand, and the AI prices the job you describe rather than applying one national rate.
Where do consent and engineering sit on a concreting quote?
Say explicitly whether they are in or out, because they are the most common surprise on a New Zealand job. Slabs and foundations are placed to NZS 3109 for concrete construction and NZS 3604 for timber-framed footings, and structural foundation work can require a building consent along with engineering input. A driveway or a path usually does not; a slab carrying a building usually does. The safe pattern is to price the concreting work itself and then state that building consent and engineering certification are at the client’s cost, so the client knows the council fees are coming and from whom.
