Frequently Asked Questions
Waffle pod and raft slab systems work well for most residential applications in Logan. These foundation types accommodate soil movement while providing structural support. Commercial projects often require engineered strip or pad footings designed for specific load requirements.
Logan’s wet and dry seasons cause reactive clay soils to expand and contract. Properly designed foundations include provisions for this movement through appropriate reinforcement, moisture barriers, and drainage systems that maintain stable soil conditions around the foundation.
All foundation work must comply with Australian Standards AS 2870 for residential footings and AS 3600 for concrete structures. Logan City Council requires structural engineering for most foundation work, and we coordinate with qualified engineers throughout the design and construction process.
Typical residential slab foundations require 3-5 working days from excavation to completion. Commercial foundations vary based on size and complexity. Weather conditions and soil access can affect timing, and we provide realistic schedules based on your specific project requirements.
