About Us
Your Trusted Concreting Team on the Sunshine Coast
We are Dylan and Emma McCathie, a professional family team dedicated to delivering top-quality concreting services across the Sunshine Coast. As locals who deeply care about our community, we bring our passion and expertise to every project we take on. Whether it’s a sleek new driveway, a functional patio, or a decorative concrete feature, you can count on us to get the job done right.
How It All Began
For me, Dylan, it all started on my family farm in New Zealand. School? Let’s just say it wasn’t my favourite place. But everything changed when I was 15 and got the chance to help my uncle pour a concrete slab. From the moment I got my hands dirty, I knew I’d found my passion.
By 21, I was leading teams and taking on diverse projects—everything from pouring a boat ramp underwater to working 50 stories up on high-rise buildings and laying massive concrete slabs for big names like Bunnings. Each project taught me something new, but one thing has remained constant: my love for concreting and my drive to exceed client expectations.
Family Business
Building a Family Concreting Business
Fast forward to meeting and marrying my soulmate, Emma. Together, we decided to turn my lifelong passion into a family-run business. Emma’s keen eye for detail and knack for organisation perfectly complements my hands-on expertise, making us a powerhouse team.
Whether it’s a small backyard project or a large residential slab, we pour our hearts (and a lot of concrete!) into creating spaces that our clients will love for years to come. Let us help you bring your vision to life. At Coastwide Concreting, we don’t just lay concrete—we build trust, quality, and lasting relationships.
When you choose us, you’re not just getting concreters—you’re getting a local, family-owned business that truly cares about your needs. We believe in doing things right, not just doing them once. That's why our clients come back time and time again, and we’re grateful for every referral we receive.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much is concrete per m² on the Sunshine Coast?
The cost of concrete per square metre on the Sunshine Coast can vary depending on a few key factors. Generally, prices range between $65 and $150 per m², but this can increase based on the specifics of your project.
For example, the type of concrete plays a big role—basic plain concrete is more affordable, while decorative options like exposed aggregate or coloured concrete are a little more premium. Site preparation also affects the price; areas that need extra groundwork or leveling might cost more. Finally, additional finishes, like sealing or texturing, can add to the overall cost.

What is the difference between cement and concrete?
Think of it this way: cement is to concrete what flour is to cake! Cement is an ingredient in concrete—it acts as the glue that binds everything together. Concrete, on the other hand, is a mixture of cement, sand, gravel, and water, creating a strong and durable material perfect for driveways, patios, and more. For more information read the new beaut article I wrote on the subject The Ultimate Battle!
