Are steel stumps better than concrete stumps in Bendigo?

Steel stumps are not always better than concrete stumps in Bendigo. The better option depends on the house, footing design, budget and how much seasonal movement the subfloor sees on Bendigo's reactive clay. Adjustable steel stumps can make later re-levelling easier on older timber homes, while concrete stumps are still a common durable choice for full restumping jobs. The real question is which system suits the structure and whether the quote includes proper jacking, levelling and any timber repairs uncovered once access is gained. Ask each contractor why they recommend steel or concrete for your house, whether future adjustment is likely, and if the price includes all stump replacement or only the visible worst sections.
