Architectural concrete and paving for homes and commercial sites across inner Melbourne. Driveways, courtyards, polished floors, and formed structures done properly.
We're a Brunswick-based crew with 18 years of working in concrete across inner Melbourne. Not just laying slabs — designing and placing architectural paving, structural forms, and polished interior floors that hold their look for decades. We work directly with homeowners, architects, and commercial fit-out builders who want the finished surface to feel considered, not just functional.

"Format did our Brunswick courtyard last spring — exposed aggregate, three level changes, channel drain to the street. The quote was itemised, they showed up when they said they would, and the finish is genuinely beautiful. Highly recommend to anyone serious about the result."
"We had a previous concretor leave the driveway with cracking at the expansion joint six months after the pour. Format came in, assessed it properly, repaired what was salvageable, and replaced what wasn't. Their honesty about what actually needed doing saved us money."
"Engaged Format for a polished concrete floor in our Collingwood office fit-out. They worked around our fit-out trades, delivered a salt-and-pepper finish that our architect specified, and were the only subcontractor on the project who finished within their quoted price."
