Redefining the possibilities of precast concrete form and design
Concrave embodies the idea of limitless possibilities, redefining the bounds of furniture, furnishing and surface design. Our core material is precast concrete and we utilise it to create feature pieces for residential, commercial or landscape spaces.
The passion I personally have for creating these products cements that I will go far beyond the extra mile to deliver something outstanding and timeless.
Andrew Hayes, Founder
“Andy from Concrave produced the most beautiful Coffee Table set and product display columns for my Studio space in the heart of Waihi Beach Village, and they could not be more perfect.
Andy’s enthusiasm for my vision and input of his ideas and expertise has resulted in both perfectly functional and beautifully natural pieces in Studio that I could not do without and are also constantly getting commented on by clients. Thanks Andy!

A foundation in design and construction.
With a background in building and design, founder Andrew Hayes began Concrave in 2023 with a passion for creativity and a strong understanding of the building and architectural industries.
We offer the most in-depth design and build process. Custom sizes, shapes and colours from bathrooms and kitchens to outdoor landscape projects from fire pits to water vessels, there are no limits to the boundaries of our concrete designs.
We have strong supplier relations and are on the pulse with the latest advancements in Glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) allowing us to deliver the best results for our clients.
The structural integrity of our product is unsurpassed.
GFRC is a composite comprised of Portland cement, fine aggregate, water, acrylic co-polymer, alkali resistant glass fibre reinforcement and additives.
The glass fibres reinforce the concrete, much as steel reinforcing does in conventional concrete. The glass fibre reinforcement results in a product with much higher flexural and tensile strengths than normal concrete, allowing its use in thin-wall casting applications. GFRC is a lightweight, durable material that can be cast into nearly unlimited shapes, colours and textures.
-
• GFRC is up to 75% lighter than steel-reinforced concrete. You can now create thinner, stronger pieces.
• GFRC comprises of specialised ingredients, engineered for optium partical compaction, resulting in low porosity.
• GFRC additives are white in colour, allowing for customization, through adding iron
oxides. This is a incomparable benefit to GFRC manufacturing
• Crystalline Silica Free*
• GFRC is completely customisable and bespoke, each piece is unique.
• There is no need for joints or expansion joints within GFRC & ECC.
• Due to the particle sizes of GFRC mix design, GFRC can pull an infinite amount of detail, creating texture on the surface. Opening the possibilities for multiple finishes.
• GFRC can be moulded into limitless shapes and sizes, allowing for greater design possibilities.
