Concrete foundations, slabs and paving
We form, pour and finish concrete foundations, house and shed slabs, driveways and paving across residential and commercial sites. One crew handles formwork, steel, pour and finish, so the slab you get matches the engineer's drawings and the finish you chose.
Based in Keilor East, Melbourne. Working across metropolitan and regional Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia.

Questions we get asked
How thick should a driveway slab be?
We pour driveways at a minimum of 125 mm, up to 150 mm where caravans, boats, trucks or other heavy vehicles will use them, and pathways at 100 mm, all with steel reinforcement. Your engineer or our site visit confirms the right spec for your soil and loads.
How long before I can use the slab?
Foot traffic is usually fine after a day or two. Cars should stay off a driveway for about seven days, and concrete reaches its design strength at 28 days. We give exact timing at handover.
Do you do the excavation as well?
Yes. The same crew does the site cut, preparation, piers if needed, and the concrete, which is faster and avoids handover problems between trades.
