We did our 30m slopping driveway including the vehicular crossing on the nature strip using Masta Concrete.Ali has been very helpful right from the start of our engagement. He patiently explained the whole process to us from excavation, roadbase filling, formwork, concrete pouring and also removed all concrete waste. Additionally, he was very accommodating as we increased the scope of the work by extending a drop edge as well as council vehicular crossing. Above all these, his quote was fair and reasonably priced. He and his team came on site often for each phase and kept us informed of the timeline.On the day of the concrete pour, his team arrived early on site. Despite hiccups due to council requirements and an unexpected broken pump which was quickly replaced, Ali and his team delivered above and beyond expectations.We are extremely happy with the driveway that was constructed by Ali and his team of 10 workers. The team at Masta Concrete is very supportive of one another. They take pride in what they do and it shows in the quailty of the job done.When you select Masta concrete, you get a team that delivers a high quality product. If you are looking to do some concreting, look no further. Masta concrete is the team you want to pick! We highly recommend their services!

Ali and his team were extremely professional from the first day we engaged them. They completed the slab extension within a week and left the site tidy afterwards. Very good communication throughout and would highly recommend Ali for any concreting works. 5/5
