Bay City Concrete and Haulage has expanded again!

We now are the proud new owners of the sand quarry Metalia in Maryborough as of late Monday afternoon.

Got to watch the excavator start to unload our first haul off the barge yesterday morning.

Exciting times ahead!

Do you need concreting done? Maybe just wanting your concrete refurbished, you know, make the old look new again? Please, please do your homework.

As we are all aware, there is a serious tradesman shortage at the moment. Unfortunately this has allowed unscrupulous people who are happy to defraud people for a quick buck to get a foot in the door.

We have seen a massive jump in unqualified, uninsured, unlicensed people calling themselves tradesmen, getting an ABN and doing work for people. Almost 100% of the time, the work is sub par at best and the repair cost is usually at least triple what the job would have cost to have done properly to begin with. It is also not covered by insurance and you have little chance of holding them responsible or getting retribution for damages done.

We hear the same line, “he was cheaper and he could do the job straight away.”

My response is always, “if the tradesmen are all super busy, but this one is cheap and available immediately, you have to ask why”.

Please check that the “tradesperson” has a license under the QBCC. You can do this via this link.

https://www.onlineservices.qbcc.qld.gov.au/OnlineLicenceSearch/VisualElements/SearchBSALicenseeContent.aspx

Check that the person is qualified to do the work they are quoting on. If they are licensed, check that they are licensed for the scope of work they are doing. You can also check their history. If there are any complaints, restrictions, fines, disciplinary action, convictions or exclusions, it will be listed under the licensee’s full history which is readily available.

Request a copy of their insurance.

Ask to be able to view work they have previously done.

Do your homework. Make sure you don’t become one of the people who come to us asking what they can do to fix the damage caused by these cowboys.

If an unlicensed person is quoting work they are unqualified to do, report them.

Taking advantage of someone by taking their money to do work you are not legally allowed to do is fraud and is disgraceful.

We have been in the concrete industry for over 20 years. We have dealt with trades of all sorts in that time, we have seen the results of some of the cowboys as well.

If you want recommendations for someone who will do the job properly the first time, feel free to contact us for a recommendation.

Please don’t allow these cowboys to continue and please don’t become one of their victims.

Bay City Mini Mix were proud to get behind Steve’s Covacrete in supporting the new Hospice on Urraween Road by supplying them with some concrete for their bird Avery.

Fraser Coast Hospice provides a valuable service to the community and we hope others can get behind them should they need support in the future.

Bay City Concrete & Haulage (formerly Bay City Mini Mix) are proud to be sponsoring the Christmas on The Coast rodeo events.

Two huge three days events, the first one in the bay over New Year’s Eve and the following weekend in Maryborough.

It will be three action packed days, with something for everyone.

We hope to see you there!

I’m sure a lot of you would have seen our maxi trucks getting out and about by now.

Although we still pride ourselves in being the only plant on the Fraser Coast with Mini Mix trucks available, we are finding the demand for larger jobs is increasing as the population of Hervey Bay explodes and the demand for new housing is high.

We now have four maxi trucks in our fleet and can service jobs from 0.2 cubic meters to 102 cubic meters at a time.

If you are after a quote for a larger pour, give us a call. 07 41244596

When you need to test how much weight your new hydraulic chute Jack can lift, this is apparently the most accurate way to do so. Boys and their toys.

🎄🎄🎅🎅Christmas Closures 🎅🎅🎄🎄

Bay City Mini Mix will be closing on Tuesday December 22nd at 12 and will reopen on Mondy the 11 January 2021 at 7am.

We want to take the opportunity to thank all of our loyal customers for their support during 2020.

2020 has been a huge year for all of those in the building and trade industry and has seen record concrete sales for us.

We also want to thank our drivers for going above and beyond as always. Putting in long hours, early starts and doing whatever is needed to help us pump out concrete in an efficient and professional manner.

We hope everyone has a well earned break and we look forward to working with you all in 2021.

Bay City Mini Mix will continue to operate at this stage, but we have put some measures in place to protect our staff and the public and we would ask that you assist us by abiding by the restrictions we have in place.

Please do not touch our trucks. We have sanitised our work place and this includes our vehicles to protect our drivers and ask that you avoid potentially contaminating them by not touching any part of the truck, agitator or chutes.

While our trucks are running, they can be a little noisy and if the driver is standing near them, they won’t hear you if you talk to them. Please keep you distance and refrain from leaning in close to them to talk to them or to get their attention. Wait until they move away from the truck so they are able to hear better and communicate with them from the required distance.

We have closed our administrative office off to everyone other than essential staff. No customers are to enter the administrative office. There is a number you can call listed on the door you can ring to notify us you are there. If it is something we can help you with over the phone, please call us rather than come into the depot.

We are restricting access to the batching office. Please knock if you are outside the batch office and wait until someone answers the door. Please do not enter the batching office. We will come out to you or talk through The open door. We ask that you maintain the required distance while doing so.

If you require products from our warehouse, wherever possible, phone ahead with your order so we can get it ready. The warehouse door is closed and will remain that way for the foreseeable future. Cash sales are asked to pay over the phone with card where possible to minimise contact.

Please help us to help our staff and the public stay safe so we can continue to keep our operations going and keep it going safely.

Any questions, queries or concerns, please call 41 244596.

There is a large dog that has been coming to the depot the last couple nights.

It makes a mess scavenging the bins and was aggressive toward and growled at my worker last night so we do not want it continuing to come back as our staff do work nights and I don’t want anyone attacked.

It is currently roaming at work at the moment and setting off our security cameras. If anyone knows who may own it, please ask them to do something about securing it otherwise I will have to contact council and being aggressive as it is, this is probably not the best option for the dog. The pictures are not good, but it appears to be a golden looking slender dog, quite a large dog.

Well Bay City Mini Mix is officially closed for 2019 and what a year it’s been.

2019 has seen record months, lots of new customers, new drivers and trucks.

We will be reopening on Jan 6th at 6:30am.

Our sister business Billabong Water Cartage will remain open the entire Christmas break to get water to those who need it.

Thank you all for your support over the last year, on behalf of Bay City Mini Mix and all of our staff, we want to wish you a safe and happy Christmas and a prosperous new year. 🌲

Some exciting changes happening. With the new truck on the road, we now have the capability to do much larger pours.

We have also found the demand for the Emerald White stone is huge. So many salt and pepper or Emerald white/Mary river aggregate exposed slabs going down.

Also having a major facelift at the batching plant. A lot of clearing up, rearranging and modernising of the place.

Stay tuned for some pics and more updates.

Bay City Mini Mix are looking into ways we can save our customers $$$

We have looked into bulk buying more of our products and are reducing prices as we go.

Our 205L General Purpose sealer was retailing for $1095.05 and we have managed to reduce the price to $1039.55, that’s a saving of $55.50 per drum!

We will also be donating $15 from every drum sold to Forever Safe Pet Rescue Inc. a local animal rescue we support.

We also have raffle tickets in the office in a 1L bottle of rum the rescue is raffling off. Tickets are $5 each and the prize will be drawn on the 20th April, so ask about them next time your in.
