Why Choose Cinerari Contracting

Concrete slabs demand far more than a good finish. Long-term performance depends on ground preparation, reinforcement accuracy, correct concrete placement and curing, all delivered in the right sequence. Clients value our ability to deliver slabs that are flat, level, compliant and ready for follow-on trades, without delays, rework or surprises.

Cinerari Contracting approaches slab construction as a controlled system. We plan each stage in advance, verify ground conditions, confirm reinforcement placement and supervise concrete pours to eliminate issues before they occur. Our experience across civil and industrial environments ensures slabs are constructed to carry real loads, not just meet surface appearance requirements.

Key Features of Our Concrete Slabs Service

01. Correct Ground Preparation

We ensure excavation levels, bearing capacity and sub-base preparation meet engineering requirements before slab construction begins.

02. Reinforcement Accuracy

Steel is placed exactly as detailed, with correct spacing, cover and fixing to deliver structural integrity and durability.

03. Controlled Concrete Placement

Concrete is placed, compacted and finished using appropriate techniques for the slab’s purpose, load and environment.

04. Fit-for-Purpose Finishes

Slab finishes are selected based on use—structural, industrial, trafficable or architectural—rather than appearance alone.

Our Approach toConcrete Slab Construction

We follow a structured, step-by-step methodology that reduces risk and ensures compliance.

Excavation & Sub-Base Preparation

    Frequently asked questions

    Slab cost depends on site classification, slab type (waffle pod vs conventional vs suspended), reinforcement spec, access, and finish. Anyone quoting a single rate per square metre across all slab types is approximating — get the slab quoted off the engineer’s drawings, not the floor plan. We provide itemised quotes that show site prep, formwork, reinforcement, concrete supply, and finishing as separate lines.
    Waffle pod is lower cost and faster to pour, suiting Class A-M reactive sites with benign soil profiles. Conventional raft costs more and pours slower, but suits more reactive sites and anywhere the engineer has called for a stiffer base. The right choice is driven by the site classification report and the structural design — not by cost alone.
    Residential ground floor slabs in Melbourne are typically 100mm minimum, with edge thickening per the engineer’s design. Heavy load areas (under masonry walls, garage thresholds) often get thickened to 150mm. Industrial and commercial slabs range from 150mm to 200mm+ depending on load and use. Always work to the engineer’s spec — undercutting slab thickness is the most common cause of slab cracking.
    An AS 2870 site classification report from a geotechnical engineer is the starting point. The report tells us whether your site is Class A (stable), Class M / H (moderately to highly reactive), or Class P (problem). The class drives the slab edge beam depth, reinforcement spec, and whether pier-and-beam systems are needed. Without the report, any slab quote is a guess.
    Yes — we deliver suspended slab packages including formwork hire, propping, engineered reinforcement, and concrete placement. Suspended slabs are common on two-storey townhouses, apartments above basements, and any structure where the slab spans rather than sits on ground. They cost significantly more than slab on ground because of the formwork and engineering involved.
    We recommend a 7-day minimum moist-cure window on residential slabs before block laying or framing crews mobilise. On heavy-duty commercial and industrial slabs, 14-28 days is typical before the slab takes its design load. Skipped or rushed curing is one of the leading causes of slab cracking complaints — building the cure window into the programme protects the slab’s long-term performance.
    We deliver complete subcontract packages — site prep, formwork, reinforcement, concrete supply, placement, and finishing under one quote. We can also work supply-and-place or labour-only if that better suits the procurement strategy on your project.
    For small to medium slabs we can typically mobilise within 1-2 weeks of confirmed booking. Volume residential or large commercial pours benefit from 3-4 weeks notice so we can sequence crew and concrete supply against the rest of the programme. Always book the slab against confirmed engineering drawings — pouring against draft drawings is how rework happens.
