Concrete Slabs in Nambour, QLD

Concrete Slabs in Nambour for Sheds, Garages, Carports and Granny Flats

We pour concrete slabs in Nambour and across the hinterland for sheds, garages, carports, water tank pads, granny flats and house extensions. Every slab starts with the ground under it. We strip topsoil and roots, compact a crushed rock base, and set out formwork to the size and levels on your plans. Then we lay the vapour barrier and the reinforcing mesh on bar chairs so the steel sits in the middle of the slab, where it does its job, and not on the dirt.

Local ground and weather shape how we build. Much of the hinterland sits on reactive clay that swells after a wet season and shrinks in a dry spell, so we follow the engineer's design for edge beams, thickenings and steel. Summer storms can roll in fast, so we watch the forecast, keep plastic on site and set falls that move water away from your shed door instead of under it. On sloping acreage blocks we often cut and fill or step the formwork so the finished slab sits level without leaving a soft corner.

Say you've bought a new steel shed kit and the supplier needs a square, level slab with hold-down bolts in exactly the right spots. We set those bolts and any plumbing or conduit before the pour, so nothing gets drilled or jackhammered later. If you want the area around it finished too, we can pour paths and patios or a concrete driveway to link the slab to the house.
