The Sunshine Coast is booming. From Hinterland hideaways to coastal cafés, new builds and renovations pop up every week. Yet one challenge never changes: getting the right amount of high-quality concrete on site, on time, without blowing the budget. That’s where small batch concrete, that comes ready-mixed becomes the ideal choice for projects across the Sunshine Coast region.
What Small-Batch Really Means
Traditional ready-mix concrete leaves the plant in a revolving drum, preset to a fixed volume. If you ordered too much, you pay for the excess; or worse, pay disposal fees for unused mix. If you ordered too little, the job stalls while you chase a top-up. Small batch concrete turns that model on its head:
- Mix on site: Our mobile batching units carry sand, aggregate, water and cement separately, blending your chosen concrete mix the moment we arrive.
- Mini mix capacity: Volumes from 0.1 m³ to 2 m³ cover everything from a garden path to a garage slab without hiring a full-size agitator.
- Only pay for what you use: Metered delivery means no hidden fees, no wasted money and no surprise cleanup costs.
Sunshine Coast Conditions Favour Flexibility
Coastal humidity, afternoon storms and narrow hinterland roads can wreak havoc on concrete schedules. Small-batch delivery solves the usual Sunshine Coast headaches:
- Beat the weather window – Because the truck carries sand, stone, water, and cement in separate bins, we wait until conditions are right on site before starting the mix. That way every load is freshly batched and finishes smoothly, even if a quick shower passes through.
- Tackle tricky locations – Mini mix trucks navigate tight residential streets and steep driveways from Caloundra to Noosa without blocking traffic.
- Keep local dollars local – Concrete Taxi is a Queensland-operated business with a friendly team of drivers who know the Sunshine Coast area inside out, so you’re supporting local jobs while securing exceptional service.
Ready Mix Concrete Without the Waste
Wasting half a metre of concrete isn’t just bad for the environment; it’s money down the drain. With small batch concrete you:
- Reduce waste – Exact metering slashes leftover mix.
- Control cost – Competitive pricing plus pay-per-pour billing means you budget by the litre, not the guess.
- Lower risk – No part-loads, no penalties, no hidden fees.
Whether you’re pouring driveways in Buderim or paving patios in Mooloolaba, small batches let you upscale or downscale instantly, keeping costs predictable.
How Much Concrete Do I Need?
A quick rule of thumb:
- Measure length × width × depth in metres.
- Multiply to get cubic metres (m³).
- Add 10 % for surface variation.

- Minimal wastage = maximal savings – Pay only for what comes down the chute.
- Transparent quotes – All costs spelled out upfront; what you see is what you pay.
