How Does Concrete Delivery Work?
Concrete delivery in Bundaberg follows a streamlined process designed for efficiency and quality:
Order & Preparation: You specify your concrete mix requirements based on your project needs—standard residential, commercial-grade, or specialised blends. Our team batches your exact specifications at our facility.
Transit & Arrival: Ready-mix concrete arrives in a professional drum truck that continuously rotates, keeping your concrete fresh and workable throughout transport to your Bundaberg site.
Site Coordination: Our experienced drivers assess access points and work with your team to determine the best delivery method—truck chutes, concrete pumps, or wheelbarrow runs.
Controlled Placement: We manage flow rates and timing to ensure concrete maintains optimal workability from truck to final placement, meeting Australian Standard AS 1379 specifications.
Scheduled Concrete Delivery Across Bundaberg
Here’s how scheduling works: for residential jobs like driveways or patios, we typically need 24-48 hours’ notice to lock in your delivery slot. Commercial pours or larger projects benefit from a week’s booking, especially during our busy dry season months.
Flexible Delivery Time Slots
Early morning pours (6 am-9 am): These are your best option during summer months when temperatures climb quickly.
Standard delivery windows (9 am-3 pm): Available year-round, these mid-day slots work well during cooler months and for projects with shade or climate control measures in place.
Afternoon scheduling options: We can deliver into the afternoon during winter months or for evening pours when conditions allow. These slots are popular for commercial projects working extended hours.
Weekend availability: Saturday deliveries are available for projects that can’t accommodate weekday schedules.
Fresh Ready-Mix Concrete Guaranteed
Concrete Mix Options Available
We batch a full range of concrete mixes for different applications:
- Standard residential mixes: 20MPa for general footings and light-duty slabs, 25MPa for driveways and standard residential construction
- Commercial and industrial grades: 32MPa for heavy-duty applications and structural elements, 40MPa for high-strength commercial requirements
- Specialised mixes: Exposed aggregate for decorative finishes, coloured concrete for architectural applications, fibre-reinforced options for crack control
- Custom blend capabilities: We can adjust mix designs for specific project needs, soil conditions, or engineering specifications
Quality Control Measures
Quality doesn’t happen by accident—we have systems in place to ensure every load meets specifications:
- Slump testing on delivery: Our drivers can perform slump tests on-site to verify concrete consistency matches your order specifications
- Batch documentation and certification: Every delivery includes documentation showing exact mix proportions, batch time, and compliance certification
- Temperature monitoring during transit: We track concrete temperature during transport, particularly during hot weather, to ensure it arrives within acceptable ranges
- Strength testing available: Cylinder samples can be taken and submitted for compressive strength testing at 7-day and 28-day intervals
Concrete Delivery for Bundaberg’s Climate
Bundaberg’s weather patterns demand specific approaches to concrete delivery that contractors from cooler regions might not understand. We adjust our delivery protocols based on current conditions, whether that’s extreme heat, wet season storms, or coastal salt air exposure.
Hot Weather Delivery Protocols: We track ambient and concrete temperature closely, adjusting delivery schedules to avoid peak heat. Chemical retarders extend working time, and ice-cooled water batching reduces initial temperature for critical pours.
Wet Season and Flood Considerations: Our drivers know which Bundaberg roads flood first and which subdivisions have drainage issues. We track weather forecasts and proactively reschedule deliveries when storm conditions threaten your pour.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Delivery in Bundaberg
For residential projects like driveways or patios, we typically need 24-48 hours’ notice to schedule your delivery. Commercial pours or larger projects work best with a week’s booking, especially during our busy dry season. That said, we keep some capacity available for urgent jobs and can often accommodate same-day or next-day delivery when you need it.
We deliver throughout Bundaberg CBD, Bargara, Burnett Heads, Bundaberg North, East, West, and South, plus Avondale, Kalkie, and Millbank. We also service rural properties and sugar cane region sites within 30km of our batching plant. If you’re outside our standard service area, give us a call—we can often work something out for larger orders.
We monitor weather forecasts closely and will call you if conditions look questionable for your pour. Sometimes we can move your delivery earlier to beat incoming rain, other times we’ll need to reschedule. We’d rather postpone than deliver concrete that’s going to get washed out—it saves everyone time and money in the long run.
In Bundaberg’s climate, you’re typically working with a 90-minute window from when concrete arrives to when it needs to be placed and finished. During hot summer days above 30°C, that window can shrink to 60-75 minutes. We can add retarders to extend working time if you’re doing a larger pour or expect hot conditions.
Yes, we deliver for projects of all sizes. Whether you need half a cubic metre for post holes or 20 cubic metres for a commercial slab, we can accommodate your order. Keep in mind there’s typically a minimum delivery charge, so we’ll discuss the most cost-effective approach for smaller quantities when you call.
We batch everything from 20MPa for basic residential footings up to 40MPa for high-strength commercial applications. The most common mixes we deliver are 25MPa for driveways and standard slabs, and 32MPa for commercial work. We can also provide specialised mixes like exposed aggregate, coloured concrete, or custom blends to engineering specifications.
