With decades of experience, Hovardas Concreting has earned trust through honest work. Discover how Nick Hovardas keeps building forward.
If you ask Nick Hovardas the secret to building a strong business, his answer is refreshingly simple: honesty, reliability, and giving 100% to every job.
Nick is the owner of Hovardas Concreting, a name that’s become well-known among families and locals across his community. Having started in 1978 as a concreter, Nick has spent over four decades building solid foundations—literally and figuratively. Today, while he’s stepped back from hands-on concreting, his focus has shifted toward excavation work, backed by his own truck, excavator, and bobcat.
It’s a natural progression for someone who’s never been afraid of getting stuck in. Nick began his journey thanks to a mate in the industry who introduced him to concreting. He liked the work, stuck with it, and the rest, as they say, is history. Over the years, the physical toll added up—especially on his knees—but the shift to excavation has kept him close to the work he loves.
“I’ve got long-time clients who still call me up,” Nick says. “Sometimes it’s them, sometimes it’s their kids or friends. It’s good to know people trust you enough to keep coming back.”
Word of mouth has always been his strongest lead generator. But in recent years, ServiceSeeking.com.au has played a key role in bringing new clients to his door. “It’s easy to use,” he says. “And the jobs I’ve picked up from there have led to more recommendations.”
Nick’s approach to his work is straightforward—show up, do what you said you would, and make sure the job is done right. It’s a formula that’s earned him a reputation as one of the top businesses on ServiceSeeking, and it’s not something he takes lightly.
When asked what keeps him going through the tougher days, his answer is again simple: “Positivity.”
There’s something refreshing about Nick’s story. No fluff. No shortcuts. Just decades of turning up, doing honest work, and earning trust one job at a time. For newer tradies or those thinking about growing their business, Nick’s journey offers a quiet kind of inspiration.
Platforms like ServiceSeeking.com.au can open new doors—but it’s the work that keeps those doors open. And in that department, Nick Hovardas is a name that stands tall.
