In short

Sunshine Coast Concrete Services pours residential concrete house slabs across the Sunshine Coast, QLD, to the engineer's plans and soil classification for the site — waffle pod, raft and conventional footing slabs. Set-out, mesh, bar chairs and plumbing penetrations are checked before the pour, then the slab is screeded, floated and power-trowelled level ready for the frame.

02 — Overview

What goes into a house slab

We pour residential slabs to engineer's plans — waffle pod, raft and conventional footing slabs — with the set-out, service penetrations and steel checked before the truck arrives. Getting this stage right is what keeps everything above it square, level and dry for the life of the house.

We work with builders and owner-builders alike, and we're happy to talk through the drawings with you so you actually understand what is being poured underneath your home.

Questions

House slab questions, answered

Do you pour house slabs to an engineer’s design?

Yes. Every house slab is poured to the engineer’s plans and the soil classification for the site under AS 2870. Set-out, reinforcement and penetrations are checked against those plans before the pour.

What types of house slab do you pour?

Waffle pod, raft and conventional footing slabs — whichever the engineer has designed for the site. See the concrete glossary for what each term means.

Do you work with owner-builders and builders?

Yes, both. We are happy to go through the engineer’s drawings with owner-builders so you understand exactly what is being poured, and we work to the builder’s program on larger jobs.
