Concrete Slabs

Concrete Slabs in Dunedin

House foundations, garage floors, shed pads and extensions. Every slab is laid level, reinforced and ready for your builder.

A level start for whatever you're building

A slab sets the standard for everything built on top of it. We prepare and compact the base, lay a vapour barrier and set the reinforcing steel, and work around the plumbing and services your builder has set out before we pour.

Larger house slabs are placed by pump and power-floated to a flat, even finish. For garages and sheds we can add rebates for doors, falls to the entry and anchor bolts as required. We work alongside builders and homeowners across Dunedin, Mosgiel and the wider Otago region.

FAQ

Common questions

How thick should a garage or shed slab be?

Most residential garage and shed slabs are 100 to 125 mm thick with steel mesh, sitting on compacted basecourse. Heavier use, such as a workshop or campervan parking, may need more. We'll confirm the right specification for your use.

Do you pour house slabs for builders?

Yes. We regularly pour foundation slabs for new homes and extensions, working from the engineer's and builder's plans, and coordinating with your plumber so services are in place before the pour.

Do you include a vapour barrier?

Yes. Any slab under a building gets a vapour barrier, to stop ground moisture coming up through the floor.

How soon can building start on a new slab?

Builders can usually start framing within a few days, but the concrete keeps gaining strength for around 28 days. We'll give you curing advice specific to your slab and the weather.
