Residential concreting across the Gold Coast
Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed building company (Licence No. 15620733) working across the Gold Coast. Our concrete work is focused on complete driveways: concreting a driveway for the first time, replacing one that has cracked or lifted, or widening an existing driveway to add parking. Every driveway is priced as a whole job, including excavation and base preparation, not just the slab.
We also take on the larger residential concrete that sits around the home: patio and alfresco slabs, outdoor entertaining areas, pool surrounds, and the concrete that forms part of a renovation or extension. We are not set up for small standalone pads or minor patch repairs.
For the full service detail, see our concrete driveways and residential concrete slabs page, or choose your suburb below.
Concrete finish options
The finish changes both the look of the driveway and what it costs. These are the three we install most.
Coloured Concrete
A coloured option for homeowners who want the driveway or concrete area to complement the home, roof, fencing and surrounding finishes rather than contrast with them.
Exposed Aggregate
A decorative finish that reveals the stone within the concrete, suited to driveways, outdoor areas, pool surrounds and other prominent exterior concrete surfaces.
What a concrete project may involve
Every site is different, so the steps below are what a Gold Coast concrete project may involve rather than a fixed checklist applied to every driveway.
- 1
Site inspection and measurement
We measure the area, check access for trucks and equipment, look at levels, falls and drainage, and confirm what is already there.
- 2
Removal and excavation
Breaking out and removing an existing driveway where required, then excavating to the depth the job needs and removing unsuitable material from site.
- 3
Subgrade and base preparation
Trimming and preparing the subgrade, then placing and compacting base material where the site calls for it, so the concrete is supported evenly.
- 4
Formwork and set-out
Setting out the shape and edges, forming up the area and setting the levels and falls so water sheds away from the house and garage.
- 5
Reinforcement
Placing reinforcement to suit the project and any engineering requirements that apply, supported at the correct height rather than laid on the ground.
- 6
Concrete supply and placement
Ordering the specified mix and placing it by chute or pump depending on access, with the crew sized for the pour so the concrete is worked while it should be.
- 7
Screeding and finishing
Screeding the surface level, floating it up, then applying the chosen finish, whether that is a broom finish, a coloured finish or exposed aggregate.
- 8
Joints and saw cutting
Forming or saw cutting control joints in a planned layout, and installing isolation or expansion joints where the concrete meets a fixed structure.
- 9
Clean-up and handover
Cleaning down the site, removing formwork and waste, and giving you clear guidance on curing and when the driveway can be used.
Thickness, concrete strength, reinforcement and joint layout vary from project to project. They depend on the site, the ground conditions, the loads the concrete will carry and any engineering requirements that apply, so we confirm the specification for your job rather than applying one universal answer.
