We deliver what we promise and keep you informed every step of the way — dates, timelines and progress — so there are no surprises and no delays. We work closely with other trades to make sure everyone's on the same page, keeping your project moving smoothly from start to finish.
Cracks aren't always preventable, bad finishes are. The key is to eliminate possible shrinkage & surface cracking as much as possible, which all comes down to years of industry experience, proper preparation, planning, reinforcing, construction/control joint positioning and placement & curing processes. We're not done until you're happy with the result, full stop.
Adjacent surfaces & structures protected, daily clean-down and barricaded work zones. Your neighbours stay happy.
A simple four-step process that keeps you informed at every stage. Most domestic jobs are completed within 2–4 weeks of quote acceptance.

Pilacon is run by Brad Pilato — a Melbourne concreter with 35 years on the tools, based out of Park Orchards. Brad personally quotes, schedules and is hands-on on every job, working alongside one full-time crew member and a trusted network of subbies for larger pours.
No call centres, no rotating subbies, no surprise faces on your driveway — just one bloke who actually cares whether the joints line up. If concrete is going to outlive the house, it deserves to be done properly.
Brad's based in Park Orchards and travels all over Greater Melbourne for the right job. The eastern suburbs are home turf — that's where most of our work lives.
Real feedback from real Melbourne homes — last 12 months of jobs, nothing cherry-picked.

"We had our driveway replaced at Mulgrave recently. We are very happy with the result, as it looks great and adds character to our home. The team were very professional and efficient and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you Brad!"
"I have known and worked with Brad for many years in the industry and have always found his work to be of the highest standard with a professional approach. I have no hesitation in recommending Pilacon for all concrete works."
