Slab down is the first major milestone in building your home, but it’s what is under the slab that really makes a difference and provides the structural integrity of your home.
Site preparation is the most important part of the build and, if done correctly, will minimise future maintenance of your home. To achieve this, Zircon Living rake through the site and remove all rubble, debris, and underground vegetation. This ensures that there are no old tree stumps that will decay over time and create a week spot under your slab. In older areas where a home has been demolished or subdivided, we have found septic tanks, asbestos, car bodies and even a swimming pool!
Once the site is cleared the Pad can be prepared and compacted as per the engineers requirements. Once compaction is achieved the foundation for your home is set and we’re now ready for SLAB DOWN!
