Metal mesh down and laid, forms have been set... pouring of the slab will be happening soon...
More pics as soon as MrK visits the land again :)
Very happy that our builder Beechwood Homes and their slab inclusion which comes within the base price...
CONCRETE SLAB FEATURES • Designed for an ‘S’, ‘M’ or ‘H’ classification to comply with AS2870 • Concrete slab living area floor level minimum is 300mm above ground level • The edge beam of the slab is rebated to provide 3 courses of brickwork in lieu of normally used 2 courses, therefore eliminating the exposure of 150mm (6”) of concrete around the perimeter of your house • The Beechwood concrete slab has no polystyrene infill panels built into it. It is a fully reinforced concrete slab foundation designed by a qualified structural engineer
One of the things that we noted with most of the builders around the estate (various builders not just a specific one) was the use of that white thingy or that polystyrene infill panels. We have learned that this type of construction may be fast and cheap in terms of building but poses a lot of risk in the integrity of the structure. So overall we are very happy with the slab that our builder will be putting in there that will last for heaps of generation to come.
Thanks for dropping by and more updates as it comes.
