Concrete driveway and civil contracting services by Select Civil Group in Geelong

Concrete Services

Driveways, retaining walls, raft slabs, paving, tilt panels, and custom concrete work for residential, commercial, and industrial projects across Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula.

Built to Last

Concrete is the backbone of every durable build. Select Civil Group delivers concrete services across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, and surrounding regions - from driveways and retaining walls through to raft slabs, paving, and commercial tilt panel work. We handle the full process on every job: excavation, base preparation, formwork, reinforcement, pouring, and finishing. No shortcuts, no subcontracting the critical stages. Our crew does the work, and we stand behind the result.

What Affects the Cost of a Concrete Job

Every concrete quote is built from the same handful of variables. Knowing what drives cost up or down helps you plan a project that fits the budget without compromising the result.

Volume and area

Cubic metres of concrete and total square metres are the biggest drivers. Bigger pour, higher cost - but per-square-metre rates drop with scale.

Finish

Plain broom is the cheapest. Exposed aggregate, coloured oxide, stencilled and stamped finishes each step up in cost.

Site access

Easy access for trucks and pumps keeps cost down. Tight access, long pump distance or hand-barrow runs add labour.

Reinforcement & engineering

A driveway needs lighter mesh than a raft slab. Heavier engineering specs mean more steel, more depth, more cost.

Site preparation

A flat, prepped block costs less than one needing excavation, fill, compaction or a level platform.

Council & crossovers

New crossovers require council approval and inspection. Always built into the quote where relevant.

Concrete retaining wall built by Select Civil Group on the Bellarine Peninsula

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are one of the most critical structural elements on any sloped or tiered property. Select Civil Group builds concrete retaining walls designed to hold, support, and stabilise soil on residential, commercial, and industrial sites across Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula. Whether you need a single wall to manage a level change in your backyard or a series of engineered walls on a multi-lot development, we deliver work that lasts.

We work with concrete block, poured concrete, and reinforced designs depending on the site conditions, engineering requirements, and your budget. Every retaining wall we build is constructed to meet relevant Australian standards and local council requirements, with proper drainage, footings, and reinforcement included as standard.

Concrete Driveways

A well-built concrete driveway adds value to your property and stands up to years of daily use. Select Civil Group pours and finishes concrete driveways for homes and businesses across the Geelong region, from simple single-car entries to large multi-vehicle driveways and turnaround areas.

We handle the full process - excavation, base preparation, formwork, steel reinforcement, pouring, and finishing. Every driveway is built on properly compacted base material with adequate drainage to prevent cracking and movement over time.

Concrete Raft Slabs

Raft slabs are the foundation of most new residential and light commercial builds in the Geelong and Bellarine region. Select Civil Group delivers concrete raft slab foundations engineered to suit local soil conditions and building requirements, providing a stable, level base for your construction project.

Our team manages the complete slab process from site preparation and formwork through to reinforcement placement, concrete pouring, and finishing. We work with your builder and engineer to ensure the slab meets all specifications, is poured on schedule, and is finished to the required tolerances. Coordination with plumbers, electricians, and other trades for in-slab services is part of how we operate.

What's Included in a Slab Pour

  • Site set-out from engineer's drawings, formwork to required dimensions
  • Termite barriers, vapour barrier and sand bedding where specified
  • Steel reinforcement (mesh and bars) to AS 2870 and the engineer's design
  • Coordination with plumbers and electricians for in-slab services
  • Concrete pour, screeding, levelling and finish to specified tolerances
  • Curing program and handover to the next trade

Concrete paving by Select Civil Group for a patio area in Geelong

Concrete Paving

Concrete paving is a durable, low-maintenance solution for paths, patios, courtyards, pool surrounds, and outdoor entertaining areas. Select Civil Group delivers concrete paving work across Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula for both residential and commercial properties, creating clean, functional surfaces that hold up to the local climate and heavy use.

We work with a range of finishes including broom finish, exposed aggregate, stamped patterns, and coloured concrete to suit your design preferences and budget. Every paved area is built on a properly prepared base with appropriate falls for drainage, expansion joints to manage movement, and reinforcement where required.

Factory Tilt Panels

Tilt-up concrete panels are a fast, cost-effective construction method for factories, warehouses, and commercial buildings. Select Civil Group handles the concrete work for tilt panel construction, including casting beds, panel pouring, and finishing. We work alongside builders and project managers to deliver panels on schedule and to specification.

Our team understands the precision required for tilt panel work. Panels need to be uniform in thickness, properly reinforced, and finished to tight tolerances so they fit together correctly when lifted into position. We bring the equipment, the materials, and the attention to detail needed to get tilt panel concrete right every time.

Concrete Seating

Concrete seating provides a permanent, weather-resistant solution for public spaces, parks, commercial properties, and residential outdoor areas. Select Civil Group builds custom concrete seating across Geelong and the Bellarine, from simple bench forms to integrated landscape seating walls and tiered designs.

Built-in concrete seating is low maintenance, vandal-resistant, and can be finished in a variety of textures and colours to match your landscape design. We work with architects, landscape designers, and councils to deliver seating that meets both functional and aesthetic requirements, built to endure years of daily use and the local coastal climate.

Concrete bench drop construction by Select Civil Group in Geelong

Concrete Bench Drops

Bench drops are used to manage level changes on sloped sites, creating flat, usable areas at different heights. Select Civil Group constructs concrete bench drops for residential and commercial properties throughout the Geelong region, providing stable, engineered transitions between different ground levels.

A properly built bench drop prevents erosion, manages water runoff, and creates usable space on land that would otherwise be difficult to develop. We work with your engineer to design and build bench drops that meet structural requirements, integrate with retaining walls and drainage systems, and provide long-term stability for the site.

Concrete Services FAQ

The questions we get most often before quoting a concrete job.

Both. We pour residential driveways, paths, slabs and retaining walls across Geelong and the Bellarine. We also handle larger commercial work including factory tilt panels and commercial slabs. Most weeks we are running a mix of both.

Plain broom (the most common, cleanest look), exposed aggregate (decorative stone finish), coloured concrete (oxide added to the mix), and stencilled or stamped patterns (pressed into the surface before curing). Each has different cost, maintenance and look. We can walk you through what suits the property.

Most residential pours can be walked on after 24 to 48 hours and driven on after 7 days. Full structural strength is reached at 28 days. We tell you exactly when each section is safe to use as part of the handover.

Yes. Where a new or upgraded crossover is required, we coordinate the application with the City of Greater Geelong and pour the crossover to council spec. Existing compliant crossovers we can work with as they are.

A raft slab is a thick, reinforced concrete slab that sits on the ground and acts as the entire foundation of the building. It is the most common foundation type for new homes in Geelong. A regular slab is thinner and used for floors, paths or non-structural surfaces. We pour both, and the engineer's specs determine which is right for the project.

Yes. All workmanship is backed by our written warranty, and we work to Australian Standards (including AS 2870 for residential slabs and AS 3600 for concrete structures) on every job. Concrete itself has a manufacturer's warranty through the supplier.

Yes. Select Civil Group carries full public liability insurance and workers compensation cover on every job. Certificates of currency are available on request.
