Things to Keep in Mind for Pre-Slab Preparation

Pre-slab preparation is a very crucial stage as it sets the base for the final building outcome. Any error during the concrete slab preparation stage means the entire foundation of the home weakening. It could lead to cracks, uneven settling and water and drainage issues. Hence, slab preparation for concrete is crucial before pouring the concrete. Preparing the ground for a concrete slab is the first step to avoid uneven groundwork. This is followed by compacting the soil to ensure a stable base, marking the site, directing water away from the building, and anti-termite treatment. 

Setting the formwork is another very important process in slab preparation as it sets the stage for the shape, quality, safety and scope of the structure. When done taking time and with the right dimensions, it ensures that the concrete slab is strong and durable.
