  Passion for perfection and nothing less was received from the project CONCRETE team....The work provided for our new extension floor was delivered with great craftmanship and attention to detail. From the knowledgeable product advice, Quoting and Execution, Johnny and his team were impressive to deal with and provided a beautiful concrete floor to compliment our contemporary style design. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend project CONCRETE for any decorative concrete works!

  Johnny and the team have a great knowledge and passion for what they do. Being in the industry myself and having Johnny to lean on for advice is a massive help. The results of his work speak for themselves and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough

  I contacted Jon a month ago to organise sealing my workshop floors, he gave me an indicative price per square meter that no one in Perth came close to matching.
We had literally just finished laying the slab and gave it some time to harden.
Jon came out and ground the slab back to give the epoxy a texture to adhere too, then applied a flawless coating edge to edge. The finish is immaculate and ultra flat.
The floor coating transformed the look of the space but adds an extremely durable surface that is easy to clean and from some basic testing, is extremely hard!

Super happy with the job and recommend Project Concrete for your concrete surfacing project.

Cheers
Dan
