My builder has indicated that my slab needs to be a H2 class slab for which I had to pay additional. This is because their soil test results showed this. The soil sample was not sent to a lab to determine this. At the same time, the soil test done by the developer with lab testing indicates that the site classification is M. I was lucky enough that one of the bore holes were done at the CENTER of my lot. I am now at a stage where my slab has been laid. I notice that the following is what has been structurally been implemented: - 300mm pods, - beams are 385mm deep - external beams are 270mm wide and internal beams are 100mm wide. - standard concrete of 20MPa has been used. - there are no other major beams in the middle if the house at 4m intervals. Can some please what the key difference in construction is between M, H1 and H2 class slabs. To me based on above information the slab does not appear to be a H2 class slab. Appreciate your comments and assistance. Best Regards, Approvals are covered in the cost we are paying to the pool company.
