Frequently Asked Questions
What steps are involved in preparing a slab?
Key steps include clearing the site, removing debris or vegetation, levelling and compacting the soil, creating footings, installing drainage and forming pier holes if required. For house or shed pads, a layer of crushed rock or sand may be added to improve stability. Each step is designed to prevent structural movement and provide a strong foundation for the slab.
Why is slab preparation important?
Slab preparation is essential because it determines the strength and longevity of the finished structure. By compacting soil, adding footings and installing drainage, the slab is less likely to crack or sink over time. Poor preparation can lead to uneven floors, water damage or foundation issues. A properly prepared slab ensures the building above is safe and secure.
How long does slab preparation take?
The timeframe depends on the site size, soil condition, and complexity of the project. Preparing a small shed pad may take one to two days, while house slabs or larger areas could take a week or more. Factors such as demolition, tree or stump removal and poor soil conditions can add extra time before concrete is poured.
