Choosing concrete for your Adelaide home or business is an investment in a robust, stylish flooring surface that will stand the test of time. When choosing a concreter, you want to be certain that they have the skills and knowledge required to complete your project to exceptional standards.
Inferior concrete that is improperly laid will look unrefined and uneven; it will be prone to damage and extensive cracking and it will not stand up as well to extreme weather and frequent use. Adelaide City Concreting use only the most reputable concrete suppliers and the finest quality equipment.
When you choose Adelaide City Concreting, our decades of combined experience and extensive body of work guarantee that you will enjoy your concrete surface for a lifetime to come. Unfortunately, not all concreters are equal, and there are several unqualified and unlicensed concreters operating in Adelaide.
To ensure that you don’t become a victim of shoddy workmanship and won’t need to spend thousands of dollars having an inferior concrete surface removed and repoured, we’ve compiled a list of five questions to ask during your concrete consultation:
What is the length and breadth of your experience?
A lengthy spell in the industry is not always a reliable indicator of a concreter’s workmanship. While it is positive if a concreting business can boast decades of experience, as we can at Adelaide City Concreting, a top-quality concreter will also have breadth of experience. A vast portfolio, showcasing a cross-section of commercial, residential and council projects, is a great indicator that your concreter is on the level, and they will be more than happy to show you examples of their work.
Can I see a portfolio of your work?
Any concreter can have an attractive website made and paste some appealing stock images to their social media profiles. An experienced concreter, who takes pride in their work, will be able to whip out their phone or tablet and show you a large personal gallery of their concreting efforts, showcasing photos that they have taken on job sites. To ensure that you, and they, are exact about the finish you want to achieve, they will often be able to provide an address near to your area where they have completed a project, so that you can get a clearer picture of their workmanship and the finished product.
Are you able to provide references?
Top quality concreters often have reputable builders and a laundry list of satisfied clients who are more than happy to vouch for them. Be sure to ask your Adelaide concreter for one or more references before they proceed with your project—a professional concreter will have several contacts within the building industry and will never be reluctant to provide you with some names.
Do you have current licensing and insurance?
Any reputable concreting business in Adelaide will have public liability insurance. As well, members of their team will be able to show their White Card, demonstrating that they have completed training in the fundamentals of construction, occupational health and safety and neutralising site hazards. Unfortunately, licensing and insurance cannot be taken for granted as standard; you should always check if your concreter meets these key requirements, so that you do not end up footing the bill for poor workmanship or unsafe work practices. Adelaide City Concreting is fully licensed and has comprehensive liability insurance for your peace of mind.
