Concrete slab construction tips and tricks

Concrete slab construction is one of the first things to be completed in most home building, renovation, and extension projects. Providing the structural foundation for homes and buildings, concrete slabs are practically indispensable in construction projects.

When it comes to the cost of concrete slab construction, there are a few factors that you have to consider. If yours is a renovation project, the concreter has to determine whether the slab can be poured over an existing slab or if the existing slab has to be completely removed first. Another determining factor is the size of the slab. If the concrete slab needed is large, the project might require the use of certain tools and equipment that entails extra costs.

If you want to have the benefit of choice, it’s highly advisable to use an online quote comparison service like EcoBuilt.co.za or Sirv.is Requesting a job on these sites allows your job to be seen by local concreters who can provide you with a free quote based on your description of the job.

A good tip to reduce the cost of your concrete slab construction job is to hire a local expert. Hiring a local concreter means that the business gets to cut down on transportation costs which can translate to a smaller bill for you. So when analyzing the quotes you receive, be sure to check the location of the business as well.

When choosing a slab contractor, it’s best to strike a balance between price and quality. The cheapest quote might not be the best choice, while the most expensive one can cause you to go over budget. A cursory glance at the business’s profile page can help you gauge the quality of a business.

Once you have finally decided on who to hire, make sure that you get a written contract. This way, you can be assured that the job will be done on time and within budget.
