Building a new garage or shed.
A new structure needs a slab sized, thickened and reinforced correctly from the start, since fixing a weak slab later is far more disruptive.
We pour garage slabs across the Sunshine Coast that are properly reinforced, level and built to last, because a garage is only as good as the slab underneath it. A slab that is correctly thick and reinforced handles the daily weight of a car, tools, storage and whatever else ends up parked on it, without cracking or settling unevenly over time. Whether you are pouring a slab for a new garage build or replacing a tired, cracked one, getting the base right is what makes everything built on top of it last.
We handle the site prep, the reinforcement and the pour as one job, not three separate headaches for you to manage. If you are planning a new garage, shed or carport slab, reach out and we will talk you through what your site needs.
A new structure needs a slab sized, thickened and reinforced correctly from the start, since fixing a weak slab later is far more disruptive.
Older slabs poured without enough reinforcement or the right base prep can crack, sink or develop an uneven surface over time, and a full repour is usually the more reliable fix.
If you are enclosing an existing space, the existing slab often needs checking, and in some cases extending or replacing, before the rest of the build goes ahead.
Tradies, hobbyists and anyone parking heavier vehicles need a slab built to handle more than a standard family car, which changes the thickness and reinforcement needed.
Once it is poured and cured, a properly built garage slab sits flat, drains the way it should and does not shift or crack under the weight of a car parked on it every day. You get a surface that is straightforward to keep clean and safe to walk on when it is wet. It is also solid enough to handle a workbench, shelving or a hoist if that is part of the plan. It is the kind of base you stop thinking about once it is down, which is exactly the point.
We look at your site, talk through what the garage or shed will be used for, and put together a firm quote covering prep, reinforcement and the pour.
Once you are ready to go ahead, we level and compact the site, set the formwork and reinforcement, and pour the slab to the thickness your project needs.
We let the slab cure properly before it takes any real weight, and talk you through how long to leave it before parking on it or building on top.
It depends on what is going on top of it. A standard domestic garage slab is usually reinforced with mesh and poured to a thickness that comfortably handles a family car. A slab for a workshop, tradie vehicle or heavier equipment needs to be thicker, with more reinforcement built in. We work this out with you before the quote is finalised.
Yes. A proper garage slab quote should always cover levelling, compacting, formwork and reinforcement alongside the concrete pour itself, not just the pour on its own. We include all of this upfront so you know exactly what you are getting before work starts.
Concrete needs time to cure properly before it takes real weight. We will give you a clear timeframe for your specific slab and site conditions, since factors like thickness, weather and mix all play a part.
