You will have to wade through a lot of info but everything you need to find out is in there. Sticking some Bondek down is all fine but the slab really should be designed by a structural engineer. I don't know which state you are in but in NSW it would be compulsory as part of the DA for a dual Occ. Have you had plans drawn up ? Stewie Re: Another floor - Suspended Concrete Slab 10Jun 11, 2014 11:15 am Thanks Beetaloo. I did wonder if the thinness of the slab might create issues with sound. Stewie, Of course I need a structural engineer to design the slab - but as with anything - I think it's worth understanding the issues and the options first. The gyprock red book looks useful - thanks for that. Does anyone have any experience with any of the other slab systems - Formdeck, Smartslab, etc.? Fair Trading can issue orders to rectify and complete but once the matter goes to NCAT these orders are automatically vacated. You will have to terminate contract and sue… 21 29782 How are you doing Ben? Extremely interested in hearing what you are doing or plan to do! 12 15188 The concreter will take and reuse. In my case I bought structural LVLs and scraped them back and used them as joists. 1 5190 |
