Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a concrete driveway cost in NZ?
A standard concrete driveway in NZ costs $100–$200 per m² for plain concrete. Exposed aggregate and decorative finishes cost $150–$250+ per m². A typical double driveway (40m²) runs $4,000–$8,000.
How thick should a concrete driveway be in NZ?
Residential driveways in NZ are typically poured at 100mm thickness with mesh reinforcing. Areas subject to heavy vehicles (trucks, motorhomes) should be 125–150mm thick.
How long does concrete take to cure in NZ?
Concrete reaches foot-traffic strength in 24–48 hours. Light vehicle traffic is safe after 7 days. Full curing takes 28 days — avoid parking heavy vehicles or placing heavy loads in the first month.
Do I need building consent for a concrete slab in NZ?
A standalone concrete path or driveway generally doesn't require consent. A slab used as a foundation for a building (shed, garage, dwelling) will require a building consent from your local council.
