Waffle Pod Slabs are a modern solution ideal for many new homes in Brisbane. They reduce construction time, minimise material use, and improve insulation.
Unlock more liveable space under your existing home.
Perfect for Queenslander and high-set homes, our under-house slab solutions provide strong, compliant foundations for building under or extending.
Robust, traditional, and engineered for Brisbane soils.
A Conventional Raft Slab is a time-tested foundation system that remains a trusted choice across Brisbane. Unlike waffle pod slabs that sit above ground, a raft slab involves excavating trenches in the soil, reinforcing them with steel, and pouring concrete to create a strong network of beams under the slab. This method distributes the building load more evenly and provides additional strength where it’s needed most.
Because it is embedded in the natural ground, a raft slab can better accommodate sites with reactive soils, slopes, or areas requiring additional reinforcement, making it an excellent option for long-term stability.
| Feature | Conventional Raft Slab | Waffle Pod Slab |
|---|---|---|
| Construction Method | Trenched beams dug into soil with reinforced concrete | Lightweight EPS pods form voids, reducing excavation |
| Strength & Stability | Ideal for reactive soils and sloping sites | Best for stable, flat sites with good soil |
| Installation Time | Longer – more excavation and concrete | Faster – reduced excavation and curing |
| Cost | Generally higher (more steel & concrete) | Lower due to less material & labour |
| Thermal Performance | Naturally cooler – direct soil contact | Better insulation – EPS pods |
| Best Suited For | Sites needing extra reinforcement or engineering | Standard residential lots with stable soils |
