Strong Concrete Slabs for Geelong Homes and Businesses
We supply and pour concrete slabs across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast, for new home foundations, garage and shed bases, extensions and light commercial builds. Every slab starts with getting the site right, correct levels, solid compaction and formwork set true, because the finished slab is only as good as what's done underneath it first.
Steel reinforcement is placed to suit the load each slab needs to carry, so what goes down stays flat, solid and ready to build on for years rather than just the first winter. Whatever you're building on top of it, get in touch and we'll talk through what your site and project actually need.
Common Situations
A new home, granny flat or room addition all start the same way, with a slab that's level, properly compacted and ready to carry the frame that goes on top. We set the levels and formwork before anything gets poured, so the base is right before the rest of the build starts.
A garage slab needs to handle vehicle weight and constant use without shifting or cracking underneath it. We size the slab and reinforcement to suit whatever's going in on top, from a full garage slab to a simple shed base.
Some slabs settle, crack badly or sit at the wrong height once a property's been renovated around them. We remove what's there and pour a new slab at the right level and thickness for the space instead of working around the problem.
Workshops, small commercial units and outbuildings need a slab sized for the load it'll actually carry. We handle these the same way we handle any residential slab, with the right compaction, reinforcement and levels underneath.
What you're left with is a flat, solid surface that sits exactly where it should, ready for a frame, a slab-on-ground home, a shed or a driveway to go straight on top. There's no waiting on soft spots to settle or uneven sections to sink over time, because the ground work and reinforcement underneath were done properly before the concrete ever went down. That means fewer surprises later, whether you're building on it straight away or leaving it ready for the next stage of your project.
Why Choose Us
Getting a slab right starts well before the concrete truck arrives. We check and set the levels, compact the base properly, and get the formwork square before any concrete goes down. Any shortcut at this stage shows up later as cracking, uneven edges or a slab that doesn't sit where it should.
Reinforcement is placed to match the load the slab needs to carry, not just added in as a standard formality. Control joints go in where they'll actually control cracking, not just wherever's easiest to cut.
We also keep you in the loop on timing, from pour day through to how long the slab needs before it's ready for the next trade or the next stage of your project, so there are no surprises about when you can actually use the space.
Common Questions
Most cracking comes down to what happens before the pour, not the concrete itself. Ground that isn't compacted properly, formwork that moves, or reinforcement placed as an afterthought are the usual causes. We compact the base properly, keep the formwork solid throughout the pour, and place steel and control joints to suit the size and shape of your slab, so cracking is controlled rather than left to chance.
Yes. That includes checking and setting the site levels, compacting the base, building the formwork, placing reinforcement, and pouring and finishing the concrete. You don't need to organise separate trades for site prep or steel, we handle each stage so the slab is ready when we say it will be.
It depends on the size and purpose of the slab, but as a general guide concrete is walkable within a few days and ready for framing or heavier loads within about one to four weeks depending on thickness and conditions. We'll give you a clear timeframe for your specific job before we start, so you know exactly when the next stage can begin.
