Difference in price between timber floor joists or concrete
Page 1 of 1
It will be set on a concrete slab but the first floor I'm having a dilemma. Whether to do a concrete floor or the timber floor joists?
It's alot to do with sound for the bottom unit. But what would the price difference be?
For us it made no difference in cost because we were building over a sewer line so a slab under the granny flat would have needed more excavation and concrete bridge over the sewer etc, so costs were similar.
Unless you really need to, just go with slab on ground.
