In short

Commercial and industrial slabs are designed by an engineer for racking, forklift and truck loads, and priced from tender drawings rather than a list price.

What commercial slabs involves

  1. Engineer's design for loads and joint layout
  2. Earthworks, sub-base, vapour barrier and edge forms
  3. Reinforcement, dowels and penetrations
  4. Pour with laser screed and power trowels on larger floors
  5. Saw-cut joints, curing compound and joint sealing

Before you hire

  • Ask each contractor for recent jobs of a similar size and finish
  • Agree the floor flatness target if racking or forklifts will use it
  • Check the curing method and how joints will be sealed
  • Plan the pour sequence around other trades

Standards and approvals

Commercial slabs are designed to AS 3600 and supplied to AS 1379. Industrial floors often set flatness targets in the contract. Concreting for homes is licensed building work in most states. In NSW a contractor licence from NSW Fair Trading is needed for residential work over $5,000 (labour and materials, incl. GST); in Queensland a QBCC licence is needed for work over $3,300; in Victoria, domestic building work over $10,000 must be done by a registered builder (Building and Plumbing Commission). Check the licence number on the regulator's public register before paying a deposit.

Common questions

What is a laser-screeded slab?

A floor levelled with a laser-guided machine, giving a flatter surface over large areas – common in warehouses.

Why do commercial slabs crack?

Mostly from shrinkage restraint and joint layout. Correct joint spacing, timing of saw cuts and curing reduce it.

Who builds commercial slabs?

Commercial concreters and civil contractors. In the directory, check what each business says about commercial work on its website.
