Canterbury-Bankstown is duplex country. More dual-occupancy slabs come out of this LGA than almost anywhere else we pour — wide post-war blocks, an approval pathway people know how to use, and strong demand for the finished product.
It is also a big LGA with genuinely different ground at each end. What works at Chester Hill is not what you will strike at Padstow, and the slab design follows the ground rather than the suburb boundary.
Three distinct ground types sit inside this one LGA — reactive clay in the west, sandstone toward the Georges River in the south, and river flats along the Cooks River in the east.
The western half sits on Wianamatta shale weathering to reactive clay. Moderate to high reactivity is the norm and drives the beam depth and reinforcement on most duplex slabs through here.
Toward the Georges River the ground firms up onto Hawkesbury sandstone and the blocks start falling away to the water. Less reactive, but shallow rock and a cross-fall push the job toward stepped slabs, drop-edge beams or a suspended floor.
The eastern suburbs sit low along the Cooks River, where alluvial soils and historic filling both turn up. Investigation matters here — the fill is rarely uniform and the engineer will design around what the boreholes show.
These are the conditions we typically strike across Canterbury-Bankstown — they are not a site classification. Your geotechnical report and structural engineer set the class and the slab design under AS 2870, and we quote and pour to whatever they specify.
The signature job in this LGA. Wide slab, party-wall footing, two sets of services and tight boundary setbacks — all set out off one survey so nothing moves between the plans and the pour.
Post-war stock across Greenacre, Punchbowl, Roselands and Sefton being cleared for new builds. We take the block from cleared pad through to a certified slab.
Deep back yards across the whole LGA. The constraint is nearly always getting concrete past the existing house, which we work out and price at the site visit.
Send us the engineering plans and we will confirm the system and quote it within 24 hours.
Polystyrene void formers in a grid, poured as one raft on top of the ground. Least excavation, least concrete, quickest to programme. The default on stable Class S and M sites.
Learn more →Solid concrete throughout with deeper stiffening beams dug into the ground. The system for reactive clay, fill and sloping sites where a waffle will not satisfy the engineer.
Learn more →A structural slab spanning between piers, walls or a lower level. Used on steep sites, over garages and basements, and for the upper floors of two-storey builds.

Not listed? We cover the whole LGA — ask us about your suburb.
Email through the engineering drawings and the site classification, or just tell us the address and what you are building. We will come out and look at access, levels and the existing structures.
One price covering excavation, reinforcement, formwork, the pour and the paperwork. Pump access, rock and fill are priced in up front rather than raised as variations later.
We lock in a pour date around your inspections, set out to the engineer's drawings, pour and cure, and hand back a certified slab with the pour records for your building file.
