How Much Do Concrete Benchtops Cost in Melbourne
Concrete benchtop cost in Melbourne typically ranges from $1,200 to $2,500+ per square metre, depending on the design, size and complexity of the build. Most of our projects fall between $1,400 - $1,800 per square metre.
Unlike off-the-shelf materials, every concrete benchtop is custom made. The final price depends on a range of factors including thickness, edge detailing, integrated sinks and installation access.
What Affects the Cost?
Size & Layout
Larger benchtops reduce the cost per square metre slightly, but complex layouts, curves or multi-piece installs increase labour and handling.
Thickness & Design
Thicker profiles, waterfall ends and custom edge details require more material and reinforcement, increasing overall cost.
Integrated Features
Sink cutouts, integrated drainboards and custom elements add fabrication time and precision work.
Installation Access
Tight access, stairs or crane lifts can significantly impact installation costs, especially for large island benches.
GFRC vs Traditional Concrete Pricing
We use GFRC (Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete), which allows for lighter, stronger benchtops with reduced risk of cracking.
While GFRC can cost slightly more upfront, it provides better long-term performance and allows for larger seamless pieces compared to traditional concrete.
Typical Price Examples
Small kitchen benchtop: $3,500 – $6,000
Large island bench: $6,000 – $12,000+
Outdoor kitchen: $8,000 – $20,000+
Every project is different, so accurate pricing requires a quote based on your plans and site conditions.
Is It Worth the Cost?
Concrete benchtops sit at the premium end of the market, similar to high-end stone.
The difference is flexibility.
You’re not choosing from a slab — you’re creating a custom piece designed specifically for your space.
Concrete Benchtop Cost vs Other Materials
Concrete benchtops are often compared to stone, but the pricing and value differ in important ways.
Stone products like engineered quartz or natural stone are priced per slab, meaning you are limited to available colours and sizes. Concrete is fully custom, allowing for unique shapes, integrated features and seamless designs.
In Melbourne, high-end stone and concrete benchtops often sit in a similar price range. The difference is flexibility — concrete allows you to create something tailored specifically to your space rather than working within the constraints of a pre-made slab.
Why Choose Digitized Concrete
At Digitized Concrete, all benchtops are fabricated in our Northcote workshop using high-performance GFRC and professional-grade sealing systems.
We focus on creating durable, architectural finishes designed to last in both residential and commercial environments.
Every project is custom designed to suit your space, with careful attention to detail from fabrication through to installation.
