At MercsCon, we take concrete beyond its traditional role, turning it into a bold architectural feature that brings spaces to life. Whether you’re designing a modern home, a commercial project, or a landscape masterpiece, our architectural concrete services offer strength, beauty, and custom craftsmanship.

From floating staircases and feature walls to benchtops, seating, pergola bases, planter boxes, and cantilevered steps, we create seamless concrete elements tailored to your vision. Our team combines generational skill with modern technology to deliver showstopping finishes. From raw, industrial looks to smooth, polished surfaces.

All architectural elements are built with precision, ideal for homes, hospitality venues, public spaces, and designer builds throughout Melbourne.

What We Create

✔ Architectural Concrete Staircases
Floating treads, cantilevered stairs, or monolithic statement steps, all formed with meticulous engineering and formwork.

Smooth, raw, burnished, or textured — concrete walls designed to anchor a space with structural elegance.

✔ Benchtops & Concrete Furniture
Custom outdoor kitchen tops, dining benches, plinths, and seating solutions made from architectural-grade concrete.

✔ Cantilevered & Suspended Steps
A floating illusion made real — crafted for strength and visual impact using advanced techniques and bracing systems.

✔ Planter Boxes & Landscaping Features
Robust, weatherproof planters and integrated garden edges that complement the geometry of your outdoor space.

✔ Concrete Shelves & Architectural Accents
Minimalist shelving, entryway features, and statement panels that double as functional art.

✔ Polished Concrete & Burnished Finishes
Select from honed, ground, burnished, or polished finishes for both indoor and outdoor architectural impact.

✔ Custom Designs for Designers & Architects
Work with our in-house team to bring complex concrete forms to life using 3D visualisation and high-spec reinforcement.

Bringing Vision to Life with Precision & Craftsmanship

At MercsCon, we treat architectural concrete as an art form. Whether we’re shaping floating staircases, casting feature walls, or crafting custom benchtops, our process ensures every piece is structurally sound, beautifully finished, and tailored to your unique project.

From the first consultation to the final seal, here’s how we turn your ideas into enduring concrete masterpieces:

1. Discovery & Consultation

We begin by understanding your vision. Whether you’re a homeowner, builder, architect, or designer, we’ll sit down to review your concept, space requirements, and stylistic goals. If needed, we’ll visit the site and take preliminary measurements to assess feasibility and planning.

Key Inclusions:
• Conceptual discussions and moodboard reviews
• Site inspection (if applicable)
• Design feasibility checks
• Timeline and budget expectations

2. Design & Visualisation

Once we know what you’re after, we bring your concept to life through 3D design tools, sketches, or mock-ups. This step allows you to visualise how the final element will integrate into your space.

Key Inclusions:
• Material and finish selection (e.g. burnished, honed, polished)
• Form style and shape development (e.g. floating steps, solid bench blocks)
• Reinforcement strategy and integration into broader structures
• Optional AI-powered 3D renders for review

3. Engineering & Planning

We collaborate with engineers or structural designers (if required) to finalise details like footing depth, reinforcement layout, bracing systems, and weight distribution, particularly important for cantilevered or suspended elements.

Key Inclusions:
• Engineering certification (if required)
• Permit assistance or coordination
• Material orders (concrete mix, steel, formwork components)

4. Formwork & Setup

This is where the build begins. We construct custom formwork, often handcrafted, to create moulds that shape the concrete. Whether for curved walls, stairs, or vertical features, our team ensures a clean, precise setup.

Key Inclusions:
• Timber or steel formwork construction
• Steel fixing and reinforcement installation
• Drainage or anchoring (if applicable)
• Pre-pour quality checks

5. Pouring & Finishing

Once everything is ready, we pour your concrete using the selected mix. Timing, temperature, and technique are critical, and our experienced crew ensures a smooth, controlled pour followed by the chosen finish.

Key Inclusions:
• On-site concrete pour with vibration for strength
• Surface finishing: honed, burnished, polished, or natural
• Edge detailing and seamless transitions
• Surface retarder application (for exposed finishes)

6. Curing & Sealing

We allow the concrete to cure properly, ensuring strength and durability. Once cured, we apply high-performance sealers to enhance colour, protect against stains, and prolong the life of your architectural element.

Key Inclusions:
• Curing schedule monitoring
• Grinding and polishing (if required)
• Sealant application (matte or gloss finishes available)
• Final inspection

7. Completion & Handover

With the work complete, we walk you through the final product, provide care and maintenance guidelines, and ensure you’re 100% satisfied. For commercial or collaborative builds, we also provide completion documentation.

Key Inclusions:
• Final quality assurance check
• Maintenance recommendations
• Warranty information
• Professional photography (optional for portfolio/gallery)
