What you get with RBM
A driveway is a slab that sees the weather. It’s also the first and last thing you see on the block, so finish matters. RBM pours driveways across Bairnsdale and East Gippsland with the base prep, jointing and finishing that stops a driveway failing early.
Most cracked driveways didn’t fail because of the concrete. They failed because the base wasn’t right, the joints weren’t cut, or the slab was too thin for the vehicle using it. We get those fundamentals right first.
Where we’ve done this: Bairnsdale, Paynesville, Lakes Entrance.

How an RBM concrete driveways job runs
Not hypothetical. This is the same process we’ve refined across 5+ years of East Gippsland work.
- Step 01
Measure & finish choice
We measure the run, talk through finish options (plain broom, coloured, exposed aggregate), and discuss drainage and fall.
- Step 02
Dig out & base
Existing surface removed, base prepared and compacted so the slab doesn’t sink.
- Step 03
Formwork & mesh
Formwork to the driveway’s line and level, mesh placed for crack resistance.
- Step 04
Pour & finish
Pour scheduled around the weather, then finished to the chosen style: broom, coloured, exposed aggregate.
- Step 05
Control joints
Control joints cut early so cracking happens where we want it, not across the middle of the drive.
- Step 06
Cure & clean
Curing managed, site cleaned, and we let you know when the driveway is ready for vehicles.
What moves the price on a concrete driveways job
These are the reasons a reliable concreter doesn’t hand out a price per square metre over the phone. Get any of these wrong in the estimate and the job loses money, which is where variations and rushed corners come from.
Length and width
Square metres is the starting point.
Thickness
Trucks, caravans or heavy 4WDs need a thicker slab than a commuter car.
Finish
Plain broom is the most economical; exposed aggregate costs more in labour and materials.
Removal of existing drive
Breaking out and removing an old driveway adds cost and time.
Fall and drainage
Bad fall means puddles and slipperiness. We build proper fall, and sometimes that means a drainage strip.
Crossover and kerbing
Council crossovers have specs; we quote them into the job where relevant.
