About concrete slabs
Slabs for sheds, garages, granny flats and extensions must be sized and reinforced for their load and often need engineering and council approval. Ground preparation, a moisture barrier and correct steel placement are what make a slab last. Confirm whether engineering and approval are included in the quote.
Getting quotes in Hobart
For concrete slabs, ask each concreter two things up front: the all-inclusive price, and how soon they can attend Hobart. If the job is not urgent, saying so can shave real money off the quote, since operators can slot you into an existing Hobart Inner run.
Local knowledge counts
Hobart sits in the Hobart Inner area. Mention the suburb when you enquire and ask the provider to confirm travel, availability and any callout component before you agree to work.
Quick answers
How thick should a concrete driveway be?+
A residential driveway is typically 100mm thick with reinforcement, and thicker where heavier vehicles are involved. Thickness, a compacted base and steel reinforcement are what stop a driveway cracking under load. Be wary of a cheap quote that skimps on base preparation or steel.
How long before I can use new concrete?+
You can usually walk on new concrete after 24 to 48 hours, but wait about seven days before driving on a new driveway and around 28 days for it to reach full strength. Rushing vehicle traffic onto fresh concrete is a common cause of early cracking.
Do I need council approval for concreting?+
Paths and driveways on private land often do not need approval, but slabs for structures, work in easements, and changes to stormwater or crossovers can require council or water-authority approval. Ask your concreter to confirm before pouring, since removing non-compliant work is expensive.
