About Us
Welcome to FNQ Precast, a small family-owned business specializing in manufacture of high- quality precast concrete products.
The business pride itself on offering a diverse range of precast solutions, aiming to provide customers with a wide variety of options to suit their needs.
FNQ Precast’ s range is used in a variety of applications, including domestic use, domestic and civil construction, schools, landscaping, and parks and recreation.
An idea was established by Peter De Lai in 2013 (locally well-known builder with 35+ years’ experience), as he foresaw the need for quality precast concrete and an opportunity to supply the public with high grade concrete products. Brendon Scrivener had been a regular consumer of FNQ Precast, taking interest in the unique segment of the building industry. This newfound interest led to Brendon and his partner Andrea taking over the business in early 2024.
Brendon has been a plumber for 30 years, running his own business for fifteen of them, delivering his services to a high standard. Having similar experience in the building industry as Peter, his goal is to continue to deliver high quality products which meet customer satisfaction.
Brendon leads the hands-on work alongside his small team, focusing on production and operation while Andrea oversees all aspects of the administrative side of the business. Brendon’s skills and knowledge in production and operations, combined with Andrea’s proficiency in administration and coordination, ensure every aspect of the business runs efficiently and drive the success of the business.
Looking to the future, FNQ Precast aims to expand and improve their range with quality products that cater to the changing demands of both customers and the industry.
Why Us
At FNQ Precast, we bring a wealth of knowledge inherited from our predecessors combined with our own extensive experience. We manufacture and supply high-quality concrete products ranging from small stepping stones to large scale items such as 4000 litres septic tanks. Our team prides itself not only on the quality of our work but also on the innovation we bring to our designs.
We are unique in the region, being the only manufacturer offering certain specialised products. Every product is carefully crafted on site at our Tolga location, poured in one piece to minimise leakage, ensure consistent quality and durability. Our concrete products are crafted using 40 to 50 MPA vibrated concrete and reinforced with steel for added strength and longevity, designed to meet Australian standards.
Each item undergoes a thorough inspection after casting, checking for any defects or cracks, to maintain the highest quality. This meticulous attention to detail reflects FNQ Precast’s commitment to excellence.
In addition to offering competitive pricing, we continuously refine our products and processes to meet the evolving needs of our customers and the industry. When you choose FNQ Precast, you are investing in lasting, reliable products that stand the test of time.
Why Precast Concrete?
Precast concrete is like no other building material offering many benefits compared to its alternatives.
Quality Control
Precast products are manufactured in a controlled environment, ensuring consistent quality, strength, and finish. The controlled setting minimizes variables like weather and site conditions.
Versatility
Precast moulds can be customised to create a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and finishes, offering design flexibility. You can simply create anything from a simple stepping stone to a designer feature built to last.
Time Efficiency
Cost Efficiency
Durability
Precast concrete is highly durable, resistant to extreme weather and environmental factors, pests, fire, corrosion and animal interactions. This makes it suitable for long lasting structures with minimal maintenance.
Less On-site Disruption
Since most of the work is done off-site, precast concrete minimizes on site construction noise, dust, and activity, reducing the overall disruption to surrounding areas.
Sustainability and Lower Environmental Impact
Precast production allows for better control of materials, reducing waste, and optimising resource use. Concrete structures have a long lifespan, often lasting 50 to 100 years or more with minimal maintenance. This durability reduces the need for frequent replacements, lowering the overall environmental impact and in comparison, to other materials, precast concrete has a smaller carbon footprint.
