Find it by layer
Every concrete job is a stack of layers, from the finish you walk on to the sub-base underneath. Here is everything we take quote requests for, in the order you would see it if you cut through a slab:
- Polished Concrete FloorsDiamond grinding in coarse to fine stagesGrind and polish
- Floor ScreedingBonded, unbonded and floating screeds25–50 mm screed
- Epoxy Floor CoatingsDiamond grinding or shot blasting before coating0.3–3 mm coating
- Concrete GrindingDiamond grinding with dust extraction1–3 mm surface removal
- Concrete WaterproofingLiquid, sheet and cementitious waterproofing systems1–2 mm coating
- Power-Floated FloorsRide-on and walk-behind power floating125–200 mm slab
- Concrete SlabsGround-bearing, raft and suspended slabs100–250 mm thick
- Rib and Block SlabsPrecast ribs cut to length for your spans170–255 mm deep
- Precast Concrete SlabsFloor and roof planks to engineer's designMade to order
- Hollow Core SlabsPrestressed planks, about 150 to 400 mm deep150–400 mm deep
- Concrete Roof SlabsCast-in-place, rib-and-block and precast roof systems120–200 mm thick
- Suspended SlabsReinforced slabs cast to an engineer's design25–35 MPa
- Concrete FoundationsStrip footings and raft foundations20–25 MPa
- Concrete FloorsSurface beds of 100 to 150 mm100–150 mm surface bed
- Small Concrete SlabsBases from 75 to 150 mm thick75–150 mm, under 3 m³
- Concrete DrivewaysDriveways of 100 to 150 mm thickness100–150 mm
One request, several quotes
ConcreteSlab.co.za is a free quote service. Homeowners, builders, developers, engineers and businesses describe their concrete job once, and we pass the request to independent concrete contractors, ready-mix suppliers, precast manufacturers and builders' merchants who work in their area. They quote you directly, so you can compare the mix, the steel, the labour and the timing before you commit. We don't pour, sell or deliver concrete ourselves.
Before you accept a concrete quote
Check that every quote is for the same slab: the thickness, the concrete strength in MPa, the mesh or rebar, the damp-proof membrane and how the sub-base will be prepared and compacted. Ask whether the concrete comes from a ready-mix plant or is mixed on site, who pays for a pump if the truck can't reach, and whether a part load or waiting time will be charged. For new houses and suspended or rib-and-block slabs, the work should follow the engineer's design and NHBRC requirements. Ask how the slab will be cured, where the joints will be cut and what guarantee covers the workmanship. A quote with a thinner slab or no steel is not cheaper in the long run.
Know your sizes? The concrete slab calculator works out the volume in cubic metres and how many ready-mix trucks you need.
