Concrete Slab-on-Ground — flooring option

Alternative to the suspended timber subfloor · 1 Bed Type A (~61 m²)

Reinforcement & slab to AS 2870 — confirm with engineer. Slab mesh (SL82) & trench mesh (L11TM) quantities and the slab/beam design depend on the site classification (soil report): SL72 may suit Class M, SL82+ for Class H; trench-mesh runs assume bottom-layer beams (add a top layer for deep/H beams). Prices are indicative placeholders; excludes labour. The alternative Timber subfloor is in the Bunnings framing list.
