Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a house slab and a shed slab?

House slabs are structural foundations designed to support a dwelling, internal walls and long-term loads. They usually require engineered designs, deeper footings and strict compliance with building codes.

Shed slabs are more flexible and vary depending on use, such as storage, workshops or machinery housing. While still requiring proper preparation and reinforcement, shed slabs often focus on load zones and access points rather than full structural framing.

Understanding the intended use of the building is key, as the slab design directly affects stability, compliance and future use of the structure.
How does slab design change for sheds storing vehicles or machinery?

Sheds used for vehicles, boats or heavy equipment place higher point loads on the slab. This often means increased thickness in traffic areas, stronger reinforcement and attention to surface finish for durability.

Turning circles, jack points and frequent wheel movement all influence slab design. Drainage and falls may also be adjusted to manage water from vehicles entering the shed.

Planning for these factors early prevents surface wear and structural stress. A slab designed for storage alone may not perform well under repeated heavy loads over time.
Why is site preparation more critical for house slabs than small structures?

House slabs rely on uniform ground support across a large footprint. Poor compaction or inconsistent base material can lead to uneven settlement, cracking and long-term structural issues.

Unlike small slabs, houses distribute loads through walls and frames, magnifying ground movement effects. Site preparation may involve deeper excavation, moisture control and soil treatment depending on conditions.

Levels must also be precise to suit framing and internal finishes. Getting preparation right at this stage reduces the risk of defects that are costly and disruptive to address once construction begins.
