Concrete Businesses for sale in Australia

Check the work type, contract value and jurisdiction. General concreting, structural work, excavation, concrete pumping and specialist coatings can fall under different licence scopes, and a company may need its own contractor licence plus a qualified nominated supervisor.

Review cutting, grinding, drilling and polishing tasks involving concrete. Check documented silica risk assessments, wet suppression or extraction, respiratory protection, air and health monitoring, worker training and control plans for processes assessed as high risk.

Inspect registrations, logbooks, daily checks, preventive maintenance, annual and major inspections, pipes, hoses and outriggers. Confirm operators hold required high-risk work licences and that SWMS address powerlines, mobile plant, traffic, tilt-up and precast activities.

Review site procedures, bins or lined washout areas, transport dockets and disposal approvals. Concrete slurry and high-pH water should not enter stormwater; verify trade-waste permissions and investigate spills, complaints, clean-ups or environmental notices.

Check mix specifications, delivery dockets, slump and strength tests, curing, weather records and subcontractor sign-offs. Review cracking, levels, finish, reinforcement, joints and coating failures, then quantify unresolved rectification, warranty and insurance claims by project.

Reconcile measured quantities, batch dockets, labour, pump time, materials and receipts by job. Adjust margin for owner work, weather cancellations, rejected pours, rework, disposal, fuel, equipment finance, maintenance and realistic replacement of pumps, trucks and finishing plant.
