Hi, We’re looking for an experienced concreter or contractor to inspect our concrete driveway on-site and provide a quote for a localised structural repair. Background: Part of the driveway has settled over time due to an old underground electrical rewire. A trench was cut many years ago and the patched section has since sunk slightly. Scope of works: • This is for inspection and quotation first • The required work is a localised repair only – not a full driveway replacement • Likely works include removal of the settled section along the trench, base re-compaction, reinforcement mesh and re-pouring concrete Our priority is: • Structural stability • A safe, level surface • A practical repair expected to last around 5 years We are not seeking decorative finishes, resurfacing, or full driveway replacement.

Complete outdoor shed assembly

$150

Surrey Hills VIC, Australia

27th Dec 2025

We have an outdoor shed (metal sheeting) measuring 3m wide x 0.78m x 1.7m high (brand Easyshed). It has been assembled, but the walls need to be erected. This is likely a two person job or else 1 person who is skilled at holding the walls to drill them together with nails. It should be a straightforward job IF you have experience at assembly or are a skilled tradesperson. Please don’t apply if you don’t have this direct experience - we have been stuffed around before on this task and just need to get the job done. Thank you.

Mapa arrived punctually, communicated well and above all got the job done efficiently and with skill. Highly recommend.
