What Types of Concrete Are Commonly Used on the Gold Coast?

Expert Advice from OSM Concrete – Premium Concrete Solutions for High-End Homes, Civil Projects & Body Corporate Works


When quality, longevity, and design matter, choosing the right type of concrete is critical. At OSM Concrete, we specialise in delivering top-tier concrete solutions for prestige residential homes, civil infrastructure, and body corporate projects across the Gold Coast and South East Queensland. With over 20 years of experience, we know what it takes to get the job done right, on time, and within budget.





Standard Grey Concrete (Normal Concrete)


This robust and versatile option is ideal for:


  • House slabs in luxury custom builds

  • Access roads and footpaths in multi-residential developments

  • Commercial-grade garage and basement flooring



It’s engineered for strength and cost-efficiency, with consistent performance in Gold Coast’s coastal climate.





Exposed Aggregate Concrete



Highly sought-after by architects and homeowners alike, exposed aggregate offers a premium look without compromising durability. Perfect for:


  • Upscale driveways in beachfront homes

  • Pool surrounds in boutique apartments

  • Body corporate pathways and courtyards



We offer an extensive selection of decorative finishes that match both modern and coastal aesthetics.





Coloured Concrete



Coloured concrete is ideal for design-conscious clients looking to enhance outdoor living areas. Use it for:


  • Designer patios and entertainment zones

  • Apartment entryways

  • Landscaped communal areas in gated estates



With custom pigment options and UV-stable finishes, OSM Concrete ensures long-lasting colour integrity.





Polished / Honed Concrete



For luxury interiors or commercial common areas, polished concrete delivers a contemporary, low-maintenance finish. Applications include:


  • High-end residential floors

  • Retail and hospitality spaces

  • Lobbies and foyers in strata-managed buildings



It’s sleek, sustainable, and highly resistant to wear.





Stamped or Stencilled Concrete



Designed to mimic premium materials like stone and slate, stamped or stencilled concrete offers a high-end finish with structural reliability. Ideal for:


  • Exclusive driveways

  • Boutique outdoor dining zones

  • Internal courtyards in apartment complexes



OSM Concrete works with a wide range of patterns to elevate the visual impact of every surface.





High-Strength Concrete (40 MPa and Above)



Essential for structural elements in large-scale civil and commercial projects, this concrete type is used in:


  • Multi-level car parks

  • Civil infrastructure and foundations

  • High-traffic driveways in gated estates and commercial precincts



Our mixes are tailored to comply with all relevant engineering standards in Queensland.





Shotcrete



For complex applications where precision and performance are key, shotcrete is used in:


  • Custom pool shells in luxury homes

  • Retaining walls for multi-tiered developments

  • Slope stabilisation on challenging terrain



It’s a preferred solution for both body corporates and civil engineering teams.
