01 — Foundations

Foundations are necessary and legally required (based on the Building Code of Australia) parts of construction. They not only provide a base for the house, but in some terrains stop warping and expansion. Foundations are required to be designed by a structural engineer and provide protection from moisture and termites. Ventilation for sub-floor spaces, and waterproofing that extends about 100mm above soil height are also required implementations to the foundations.

A slab foundation is normally placed after the area is cleared of earthworks (e.g. plants, weeds, shrubs) and the plumbing pre-lay is completed. Once these steps are completed we can then pour your footings and floor slab. The slab foundation is made up of concrete and typically 150mm thick in the centre. The footings and slab involve using a concrete pump to direct the concrete into position. This process ensures the waterproof membrane and reinforcement isn’t damaged.

02 — Landscaping

Pathways

Concrete pathways are exceptionally durable, flexible and interchangeable.

As well as the improved style for concreting your pathway, there are numerous benefits to concreting pathways which include:

• Customisable to your outdoor area

• Durable and long lasting

• Affordability over the long term

• Low maintenance

• Weather resistant (won't crack under pressure)

Retaining walls

A retaining wall is an outdoor wall and used to keep the soil in place. It works in preventing the soil from sliding or eroding. A retaining wall is usually built on either side of an outdoor space to extend control to the soil at different levels. Retaining walls hold back the soil and prevent it from sliding away.

Poured concrete is an alternative to a concrete block retaining wall. Because the concrete is poured into formation and it is more dense than a block, it is much stronger and more flexible in design.

Patios

Patios are another area in the garden that could use concrete as the base slab to create right in middle your garden to spruce it up. It could be your place to do whatever activities you like like calling friends for tea or just a place to relax in the garden.

Walls

Walls can form your whole property and add character to your front and back yard.

There are many reasons and uses for concrete walls, if you have pets, it adds a barrier to keep them in not only in safety but also from running away, these walls are also great for keeping privacy and security at a high level.
