Concrete House Pads
We provide high quality concrete house pads for residential and commercial properties in Bunbury and in neighbouring areas.
Laying a stable foundation is the first and most crucial phase in building a home. Your home must be built on a solid foundation and must follow all specifications to withstand the test of time.
There are factors that should be considered during site preparation and building house pads. We make sure that it is done the right way always. We don’t allow any room for mistakes since it can be expensive and it will cause delay on the project construction.
Choosing an experienced, professional grading operator or contractor is one of the most critical aspects of having a good house pad. The majority of houses are constructed on compacted earth pads that are levelled and elevated slightly above the surrounding terrain to ensure proper drainage. Land clearing, pad preparation, proper drainage and erosion control should be done perfectly to avoid major damage on your property in the future.
To ensure a hassle free project, we thoroughly check the site and provide proper insights to homeowners prior to construction.

Concrete Retaining Walls
There are many considerations to acknowledge when planning and constructing a retaining wall, whether it is for residential or commercial use. The same level of building standard should be applied to walls as it is to bridges and buildings. It is important to consider first the location and the environmental factors that could cause future problem before you start designing and selecting aesthetics for your wall.
To avoid future damage or collapsing, concrete retaining wall requires advanced preparation and careful layout. We will discuss with our clients several important factors to consider early in the design process, as well as giving advice on how to select the right form of retaining wall for the project.
All retaining walls have the same goal: to keep soil behind them. However, specific requirements and considerations should be well thought out on every project. It will also affect the material you will use and the type of wall you build
Different kinds of retaining walls
You may start to decide what type of retaining wall your project would need after assessing the site, soil, design, and drainage. There are several options available. During the process we consult the manufacturer about absorption specifications, strength, height deviations, and other factors. In addition, the required reinforcement approach should be used if necessary.
Gravity Walls
It is usually constructed of heavy materials like brick, large concrete blocks, or cast in place concrete and uses their own weight to support the soil behind them. They use their mass to withstand pressure from behind and lean back into the soil with interlocking edges.
Cantilevered Walls
It is built in the form of an inverted T with reinforced concrete or mortared masonry and function on the principle of leverage. A cantilevered wall uses less construction material than a gravity wall, and it can be poured on site or manufactured at a precast concrete factory.
Segmental Retaining Walls
SRWs are gravity walls that can be constructed with or without reinforcement and can achieve heights of more than 40 feet.
Counterfort Walls
Counterfort walls, like cantilever walls, require support along the backside of the wall. To improve the wall’s stability, they use concrete webs built at an angle. If the wall is taller than about 8 metres, these are favoured over cantilever walls.
Sheet or Bored Pile Walls
These walls are commonly used in in soft soil and tight spaces. Sheet or Bored Pile Walls are made out of precast concrete, steel, vinyl, or wood planks.
Gabion mesh walls
Wire mesh boxes are filled with stone and rocks, then stacked together to construct gabion-style walls. The wire tied boxes are angled back towards the edge.
Panel Wall
Panel walls are widely used in tall applications such as highway ramps or near places where heavy loads are present. They may also use posts to link the precast concrete panels with steel reinforcement.
Concrete Swimming Pools
Concrete swimming pools are one of the most common options because they look great, last a long time and offer endless customization options. Given the higher initial investment, many pool owners claim that the longer lifespan of a concrete pool compensates for the higher initial cost. Properly maintained concrete swimming pools can last for many years or more.
Below are a few reasons why people choose concrete pools:
- Customization is almost infinite. We build concrete pools to your exact specifications, so we have limitless selection of shape and designs that you can choose from. You can also request to add extra features like tanning ledges, steps, and others

- They have a longer lifespan and are very durable. Swimming pools made of concrete are designed to last. You can continue to enjoy your pool for many years if you maintain it properly.
Coloured Concrete
Concrete is a widely used building material that is recognised for its toughness, affordability and flexibility. The only downside of concrete in its natural state is that it has a dull look that does not always meet homeowners design specifications.
Traditional grey concrete can be painted and dyed in various colours with coloured concrete. You can choose any colour you want, from traditional to contemporary. We have a wide selection of classic and vibrant modern colours.
Is coloured concrete prone to fading? The colour pigments used in coloured concrete are UV stable and fade resistant. During the curing process and when it ages in the weather, the cement does change tones.
Most of our clients choose natural earth toned colour schemes for their concrete driveways and patios, such as browns, tans, and terracotta reds. Many landscapes and exterior home colours look great with these neutral colours.
Benefits:
- It is affordable
- Unlike other types of flooring, such as carpet, tile, and hardwood, coloured concrete is designed to last
