We haven't done our slab yet but this guy is going to do it, he was highly recommended to me by a builder i know who recently built his own house and this guy did his slab and by all reports he was very good. I have been impressed so far with the dealings i have had and his price was right on the money. Does both waffle and conventional. Sherritt Concreting, Darren - 0415 563 801 Hope this helps.

Re: OB tradie recommendations Melbourne 43Apr 20, 2012 2:45 pm New owner builder here in Knox. Can anyone recommend someone in the East of Melbourne for the following (that hasn't been mentioned here already): - cut the land - drainage plumber - slab I've contacted Darren recommended above and waiting for a quote for a slab. p&j guzzo are based in the peninsula and won't work in Wantirna I'll also need, in due course - plumber - tiler - carpenter - bricky - electrician - basically everyone except for cabinet maker and tiler. A few of the recommended tradies and suppliers are based in the West or North, so I doubt they will want to travel to Knox. Re: OB tradie recommendations Melbourne 44May 14, 2012 10:42 pm You know this thread is old when you're referring to your now husband as fiancee and have a 2year old!
