Re: mrs kaz's house in Byford - has a slab :) 38Jan 02, 2010 8:16 am Onc I agree with you, you should be able to pour a concrete slab with mininal cracking in Perth, but is ever done the way it should be. Highbury poured my pad, and it had very few cracks even when the tiler finished tiling a year and half later. Given the conditions under which this pad was poured, I guess the best you can hope for is no displacement cracks, and repair the existing pad if required. My observation of my neighbour's pour (by Highbury) was exactly as you suggest, two really young guys who wanted an easy/lazy job or were afraid it would set to quickly. Unfornutately, on that job the drain guys put the ensuite and shower drain partially in the family room and they (grano guys) consequently put the shower recess in the wrong place - where is the supervisor when you need him (showed up around lunch to see the almost final product). I have looked at a lot of pads in my area (the usual walk through) and have almost always seen some hairline cracks in the pad. I have only once seen a displacement crack - which the builder did actually try and fix. The question for Ms Kaz it how bad does a pad have to be cracked before you need to go back to the builder?
