Complete construction
Building a new home? The concrete slab is the foundation everything else sits on. We provide professional concrete slab construction for new homes, extensions, and major renovations across Geelong, working to engineering specifications and Australian building standards.
From site preparation and formwork through to concrete pouring and finishing, we handle the complete slab construction process. We work with builders, owner-builders, and directly with homeowners to deliver quality concrete slabs on time and to specification.
The most common slab system for residential construction in Geelong. Polystyrene void formers create a lighter, more economical slab whilst maintaining strength. Includes edge beams and internal beams as per engineering design.
Traditional concrete slabs with steel reinforcement throughout. Used where site conditions require or when specified by engineers. Suitable for most residential applications.
Heavy-duty slab systems for reactive soils or difficult site conditions. Additional reinforcement and beam depth provide extra strength and resistance to ground movement.
Concrete slabs for home extensions, matching to existing house levels and tie-in requirements. Coordinating with existing foundations and building structure.
We work to engineering specifications and building regulations. Your slab will be built exactly as designed by your engineer.
Proper formwork installation ensures straight edges, correct levels, and proper beam depths. We take care with formwork knowing it determines the final slab quality.
With over 20 years’ experience, we understand house slab construction requirements and have completed numerous residential slabs across Geelong.
We coordinate with your builder’s schedule, ensuring the slab is ready when needed for framing to commence. Communication keeps projects on track.
We review engineering plans to understand slab specifications, reinforcement requirements, beam depths, and any special details for your project.
Ensuring the site is level, compacted, and ready for slab construction. This typically follows footings and any pier work required.
Setting up edge forms, internal beam forms, and waffle pod placement if applicable. Accurate formwork creates an accurate slab.
Installing steel reinforcement (rebar) exactly as specified in engineering plans. All reinforcement is checked before concrete pour.
Pouring concrete to achieve specified thickness and coverage. We use concrete mixes that meet Australian Standards and engineering specifications.
Screeding and trowelling the slab surface to create level, smooth concrete. Proper curing ensures the slab reaches full strength.
We construct house slabs throughout Greater Geelong including Geelong, Belmont, Newtown, Highton, Grovedale, Waurn Ponds, and surrounding suburbs. Our service area extends across the Bellarine Peninsula (Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Point Lonsdale, Queenscliff, Portarlington, Leopold) and Surf Coast (Torquay, Jan Juc, Anglesea, Aireys Inlet), plus the broader Geelong region including Lara, Corio, Bannockburn, and Inverleigh.
House slab costs vary significantly based on size, slab type, site conditions, and engineering requirements. Most residential slabs cost between $80-$150 per square metre. We provide detailed quotes after reviewing engineering plans.
Most residential slabs take 3-5 days to construct – formwork and reinforcement take 1-2 days, concrete pour and finishing takes 1 day, then curing time before construction continues. Large or complex slabs may take longer.
Yes, all house slabs require engineering design in Australia. Your engineer designs the slab based on soil tests, house design, and local conditions. We build to their specifications.
Waffle pod slabs use polystyrene void formers to reduce concrete volume whilst maintaining strength through an engineered beam system. Conventional slabs are solid concrete throughout. Waffle pods are more economical for most houses.
Yes, we work with owner-builders regularly. We’ll need to see your engineering plans, building permit, and understand your project timeline. We’re happy to explain the process and requirements.
House slabs in Geelong are typically 100mm thick between beams (for waffle pod slabs) or 100-150mm thick (for conventional slabs). Edge beams and internal beams are deeper as specified by engineering.
Framing can typically commence 3-7 days after the pour, once concrete has achieved adequate strength. Your builder will advise on their specific requirements.
Geelong has various soil types including reactive clays in some areas. Engineers design slabs to handle local soil conditions – this might mean stiffened raft slabs or other reinforced systems. We build to their specifications.
We focus on the slab construction itself. Site cuts, filling, and earthworks are typically handled before we arrive. If you need excavation services, we can discuss including this in your project.
Our quotes include formwork, reinforcement installation, concrete supply and pouring, finishing, and curing. We quote based on engineering plans after reviewing all specifications.
