Residential slabs and footings poured to the engineer’s drawings — waffle pod, stiffened raft and strip footings, plus shed, garage and workshop slabs. We do the prep, the steel and the pour, so there’s no gap between trades for anything to fall through.
A slab that’s out of level, out of square or short on cover doesn’t stay a concrete problem for long — it becomes a framing problem, then a cladding problem, then a door-that-won’t-close problem. We’d rather spend the extra half-day getting the set-out right.
Excavation, formwork, steel, pour and finish all done by us — one number to call and nobody to blame each other
Poured to the engineer’s drawings — cover, thickness, mesh, bar and pod layout checked before concrete is booked
To full design strength — though the frame can generally go up long before that, so your program isn’t held up
Your engineer specifies the slab type based on the soil classification and what’s going on top. Here’s what each one actually means on the ground.
Polystyrene pods laid on the ground with reinforced ribs poured between them. Minimal excavation, good thermal performance, and the most common residential slab on the Coast.
Most commonA conventional slab with beams dug into the ground beneath it. Suits reactive clay sites and sloping blocks where the slab needs more stiffness across the footprint.
Reactive sitesTrenched and poured footings carrying load-bearing walls, for suspended floors, extensions, retaining and block work. Dug, stepped and poured to the drawings.
Extensions & wallsThickened-edge slabs sized for the shed kit, with the correct rebate, bolt set-out and falls. Squared up and dead level so the frame goes together without a fight.
Kit-ready
We do a lot of work for custom home builders, and the thing they keep us for isn’t the concrete — it’s that the date we give you is the date it happens.
Booked into your program and pumped on the day. If weather moves it, you hear from us early, not on the morning.
Set-out, pod layout, beam depths, cover and penetrations checked against the plans before the day, not during it.
Steel and formwork left tidy and complete so the pre-pour inspection passes first time and nothing holds up the pour.
Forms stripped, pods and offcuts removed, washout taken with us. The next trade walks onto a clear slab.
A guide only — your engineer’s soil report and drawings decide the final call.

Send through the engineer’s drawings and soil report. We price the slab from them and give you a written fixed quote and a date.
Site cut, levels set, formwork up and squared, membrane down. Beams and pods laid out exactly as the drawings show them.
Mesh and bar tied with correct cover and chairs, penetrations set, then left clean and ready for the pre-pour inspection.
Placed, vibrated, screeded and power-floated to a flat finish, then cured, stripped and cleared so the frame can start.
