Every slab we pour is designed to perform for the long term and to give your build the stable base it needs.
As experienced house slab concreters Coffs Harbour, we offer two primary slab options: ground slabs and waffle slabs. The choice depends on your site’s soil classification and the structural needs of your build. This is usually determined through geotechnical soil testing during the early stages of planning.
Ground Slabs are the most common type and are built directly on a prepared base. Trenches are excavated around the perimeter and filled with concrete to form edge beams, which stiffen the structure. A vapour barrier, termite protection and steel reinforcement are all positioned before the concrete is poured to create the floor slab.
Waffle Slabs use a grid of polystyrene pods beneath the concrete surface to create an elevated slab with internal beams. These reduce the overall concrete volume while maintaining strength, especially in areas where soil reactivity is lower.
Both options offer:
Our team will recommend the most suitable option after inspecting your block and reviewing soil test results.
The required thickness for a residential concrete slab depends on the soil conditions, structural requirements and intended use of the slab. For most house foundations, the slab itself is typically 100 to 150 millimetres thick, with edge beams that may be deeper and wider for additional support.
Some sites require reinforced thickened slabs, especially in areas with highly reactive clay or sloping terrain. Slab design is also influenced by expected loads, such as brick walls, large appliances or heavy fixtures. Steel mesh or reinforcing bars are often added to ensure long-term strength.
Typical slab design considerations include:
