Understanding your investment is crucial when planning your new vehicle entrance. Our experienced driveway contractors typically charge between $180 to $240 per square metre for professional driveway installations, delivering exceptional value while maintaining the highest quality standards across the Hutt Valley. Cement driveway costs vary based on your specific requirements and site conditions.


Several factors influence where your project falls within this range. Landscape complexity significantly impacts costs; properties with steep slopes, rocky terrain, or challenging soil conditions in areas like Eastbourne's hillsides require specialised equipment and additional preparation. Our contractors excel at installing driveways on sloped angles, with elevated properties in Pinehaven often presenting unique access challenges that our team handles expertly. Site accessibility is equally important, as narrow access points or limited vehicle entry naturally increase labour requirements.


Your choice of concrete finish and design complexity directly affects project investment. Standard concrete installations represent the most cost-effective option, while premium finishes such as stamped patterns, exposed aggregate textures, or decorative paver systems require additional materials and specialised techniques. The cost to replace a driveway includes existing surface removal, while a complete driveway redo may involve additional drainage modifications and council permit requirements.


Most concrete driveway projects are completed within 3-7 days, depending on size and complexity. Simple single-vehicle driveways typically require 2-3 days, while multi-vehicle installations with decorative finishes may extend to 5-7 days. Weather conditions and curing requirements can affect project timelines, particularly during Wellington's wetter months, but we provide realistic schedules during your consultation and keep you informed throughout the process.


Every property presents unique challenges, which is why online calculators often disappoint when reality doesn't match expectations. Our detailed, obligation-free consultations eliminate surprises by assessing your specific site conditions and providing accurate pricing tailored to your exact requirements.
