Strong and reliable concrete slab construction
Concrete slabs provide a durable and stable foundation for a wide range of structures, including homes, garages, sheds, and commercial buildings. A professionally installed slab ensures even load distribution, long-term strength, and resistance to movement caused by ground conditions and changing weather.
Our concrete slabs are designed and constructed to meet New Zealand building standards, giving you confidence that your project is supported by a solid and dependable base.
Precision preparation and accurate installation
Every slab installation begins with careful site assessment and preparation. We handle excavation, levelling, and base compaction to create a firm foundation that minimises the risk of cracking or settlement.
Formwork and reinforcement are installed to precise specifications before pouring high-quality concrete. Our experienced team ensures accurate placement, correct thickness, and smooth finishing, followed by controlled curing to achieve maximum strength and durability.

Concrete Slabs - FAQ
How thick should a concrete slab be?
Thickness depends on the intended use, soil conditions, and engineering requirements. Residential slabs typically range from 100mm to 120mm, while commercial slabs may require greater thickness and reinforcement.
When can I build on a new concrete slab?
Light construction may begin after 48 to 72 hours, but full strength develops over approximately 28 days.
Will my slab crack?
Minor hairline cracks can occur naturally, but proper base preparation, reinforcement, and curing significantly reduce the risk of structural cracking.
Do concrete slabs require reinforcement?
Yes, steel mesh or reinforcing bars are used to increase strength, control cracking, and improve load-bearing capacity.
How do you handle drainage under slabs?
We incorporate appropriate sub-base preparation, drainage layers, and moisture barriers to prevent water build-up and rising damp.
What preparation is required before pouring the slab?
Preparation includes excavation, base compaction, formwork installation, reinforcement placement, and moisture barrier installation.
Do I need council consent for a concrete slab?
Most structural slabs require council approval and inspection. We work in accordance with approved plans and local building regulations.
Can you pour slabs for garages, sheds, and workshops?
Yes, we install slabs for garages, sheds, workshops, and commercial spaces, tailored to the load and usage requirements of each structure.
