Don Sanelli, the founder of Sanelli Concreting was born in 1924 in the Abruzzo Region in Italy.
Don started his working life working on the land in Italy, building houses, using natural rock, utilising local trees for beams, sourcing sand from paddocks, and making his own lime cement – all physical, hard work.

In 1956 Don and his wife Maria and two daughters migrated to Australia wanting a better life for his family. Don started working with the Board of Works, managing and carrying out many concrete jobs, and then worked for number of large Concrete Contractors in Melbourne.

In 1968, after the birth of his two sons, Don established his own business, Sanelli Concreting. In just a few years, Sanelli Concreting became one of the most well-known concreters in Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs. Don’s commitment to quality and his eye for detail became a trademark of Sanellli Concreting. With an ever-growing business, his two son’s Santo and Tony, at an early age, began to learn the concreting craft from the master himself and became integral to the success of Sanelli Concreting.

Whilst Don retired at the ripe old age of 85, he has handed over the reins of Sanelli Concreting to the most capable of hands, his two sons Santo and Tony.

Today, Sanelli Concreting continues Don’s legacy, with an eye for detail, commitment to quality, prompt and efficient service and quality of workmanship, satisfying many a client with the perfect concreting solutions.
