Forming the Base of Your Building

Looking to develop a block of land in Port Stephens for residential or commercial use? Planning on extending your home? When putting up new rooms or buildings, you’ve got to start from the ground up. That means solid foundations that’ll support your structure for a lifetime. At AJ’s Concreting Services, we pour concrete slabs and footings to do just that! Having been in the industry forever and a day, we understand how important it is to get the reinforcement, concrete mix and pour just right. After all, no one wants a wonky house!

In Australia, there tends to be 4 main types of home foundations, including:

Strip foundation – a shallow foundation that spreads the surface weight of your building across the total soil area
Stump footing – a series of concrete stumps that raise your home above the ground
Suspended slab – typically used for floors above ground level
Concrete slab – perfect for locations where the ground is unlikely to freeze

Excavation

Before any foundations or footings can be laid, your land will need to be excavated. We provide this service in addition to laying the required reinforcement and concrete.

Footings

Footings support the weight of your property, dispersing the load across the land beneath. They can also be used to raise your property off the ground—perfect for flood-prone areas.

Slabs

Concrete slabs are used as floors and roof systems in medium and high-density buildings. They can be easily poured in situ to the exact measurements and shape required.
