How to Get 3 Concrete Quotes in Adelaide — And What to Actually Compare

Intro — Most homeowners get 3 quotes but don't know what to compare

What to include in your brief before requesting quotes

• Site photos + measurements
• Concrete finish preference
• Any known soil issues

The 7 line items every concrete quote must include

• Excavation depth and disposal
• Roadbase type and depth (DGB20 vs recycled)
• Reinforcement spec (F72 vs F82, bar chairs)
• Concrete strength (MPa)
• Control joint spacing
• Finish and sealer type
• Warranty terms

Red flags in a quote — missing line items, no MPa spec, no warranty, cash-only discount pressure

Price vs value — the cheapest quote often omits the sub-base; that's where driveways fail

How long should a quote take? — on-site measure vs over-phone quote reliability
