Exposed Aggregate Cost in Perth
Typical Perth prices for exposed aggregate and honed concrete, what changes the price, and how to get a fixed quote.
What affects the price
Size and shape
Bigger areas cost more overall but less per square metre. Lots of curves and cuts add labour.
Prep and excavation
Removing old concrete or pavers, digging out and setting levels all add to the job.
Mix and colour
Some stone blends and colours cost more than others.
Finish
Honed concrete needs grinding after it's laid, so it costs more than exposed.
Drainage
Soakwells, grates and falls to keep water away from the house.
Access
Tight sites can mean barrowing or pumping the concrete in.

Why small jobs cost more per m²
A small path or patio takes most of the same work as a bigger job: setting out, prep, formwork, getting the concrete delivered and finishing it off. That time is spread over fewer square metres, so the rate per m² is higher. On larger jobs the rate comes down. There's no minimum size, but small jobs usually have a minimum charge.
