Beaudesert Concrete Slab Foundations
When you're building a home, everything depends on a solid start, and that starts with the slab. A properly poured concrete slab foundation gives your entire structure the strength, stability, and durability it needs for years to come. At Crete to Coast Concreting, we specialise in pouring house slabs that meet local standards and suit the specific conditions of Beaudesert and surrounding areas. Whether you're building a new home, adding a granny flat, or laying a base for a shed, we'll make sure it's flat, level, and structurally sound from the ground up.
We understand how important it is to get this part right, which is why we follow a careful process: from site prep and forming to pouring, finishing, and curing. Our team works closely with builders and homeowners to meet timelines, manage site conditions, and deliver a result that supports the rest of your build.
If you're ready to pour your slab and want to feel confident about the quality, give us a call on

Start Your Project Right
A house slab is the foundation your whole home depends on. That’s why the details really matter, from the soil and drainage to the thickness and type of reinforcement used. Whether you’re after a waffle pod slab, a conventional raft slab, or a monolithic pour, it’s important to have a team that knows how to get it right. Poor foundations can lead to problems like cracked walls or uneven floors, especially in areas with tricky ground conditions like Beaudesert and the Scenic Rim.
We help avoid those headaches by using solid techniques, quality materials, and the right approach for your site. Whether it’s a small slab for a shed or a full foundation for your new home, we’ve got the skills and experience to make it happen. We keep the process clear, the timing on track, and the end result something you can rely on. If you’re planning a build, get in touch today to chat about concrete slab foundations that are built to last.
What is a concrete slab foundation and why is it important?
A concrete slab foundation is a large, flat layer of poured concrete that supports the structure of a home. It's typically reinforced with steel and poured directly onto prepared soil or fill. This foundation type is essential because it transfers the building’s load to the ground evenly and helps prevent shifting, settling, or structural damage. A properly installed slab also helps manage moisture, provides thermal mass, and creates a level base for walls and flooring.
How thick should a house slab be in Australia?
In most Australian residential builds, a house slab is generally between 85mm and 100mm thick for standard loads. For heavier builds or specific structural requirements, it may need to be thicker. The exact thickness depends on factors like soil type, site slope, and whether the slab includes internal footings or drop edges. Engineering specifications, Australian Standards (AS 2870), and local regulations all play a role in determining the final slab thickness.
How long does it take for a concrete house slab to cure?
A concrete slab sets within 24–48 hours, meaning it’s firm enough to walk on. However, curing—a process that allows the concrete to reach its full strength—takes approximately 28 days. During this time, proper moisture retention (using curing compounds or water application) is crucial to prevent surface cracking and ensure long-term durability. Structural work like framing typically begins after 7–10 days, depending on conditions and engineering requirements.
