A working figure

Estimate the finish in a minute

The same rates the cost guide publishes, multiplied honestly. When the figure looks right, a site measure turns it into a written price that holds.

Exposed aggregate estimate

Most single driveways measure around 45 m2, patios 20 to 40, pool surrounds 15 to 35.
Your working range $0 Formwork, base, steel, the decorative pour, the wash and two coats of sealer included. Council fees for a non standard crossover sit outside the rate. Every figure here is a guide until the site has been measured; the written quote that follows it is the number that holds. Make it a written price

Measuring the area honestly

For a driveway, measure boundary to garage door down the middle of the run, times the width, and include the crossover strip to the road. Flares at the garage and paths that pour with the driveway count too. For patios and surrounds, length times width of each rectangle and add them up; the measure does not need to be perfect, the site visit makes it exact.

The estimator holds every assumption visible: the surface type sets the rate span, removal of an old surface adds its own line, and tight access carries a loading rather than a surprise. That is the same shape the written quote takes, so the two should land close.

Happy with the range? A site measure turns it into one written figure.

Begin with a site measure

The finish that gets chosen for how it looks deserves a quote written the same way.

A site measure, a stone and colour recommendation for your home, and a written price that holds.
