Concrete floor installation has an average price of $55/m2. The overall costs, however, are usually determined by the size and complexity of the job. A simple concrete flooring project without the bells and whistles can go for as low as $50/m2, while a decorative concrete flooring job can cost as much as $60/m2.
Where do these prices come from?
Ray’s concreting job in Queensland cost a total of $2,700. This price is for a 9m x 6m concrete slab with a nice finish that will serve as a shed’s flooring. The price covered both materials and labour, and the site was easily accessed by a truck.
Factors that affect the cost of concrete flooring
Aside from comparing the costs of various flooring options, it is also important to understand how concrete flooring businesses come up with an estimate.
As with most building and renovation work, a lot of factors determine the overall cost of a concrete flooring project. Among these considerations is the complexity of the job. You are likely to be charged a lower rate for a basic concrete flooring job. However, if you are going to opt for a more complex and decorative concrete floor, you will need a bigger budget for that.
In general, it is also cheaper to install new concrete flooring than to replace old floors with new concrete floors. More time and effort are typically required to take out the old flooring and to do the prep work before your contractor can actually start laying the new floor.
In addition to that, since most concreting jobs are charged per square metre, the total floor area will directly impact the overall cost as well. However, it is also equally important to take the type of materials into consideration as it can also affect the total price of the job. You can find both affordable and high-end materials in the market so make sure to choose something that fits your budget.
