Geelslang project. Completed foundations and now preparing for the slab.

When constructing foundations and slabs in South Africa, it is crucial to adhere to specific regulations to ensure safety and stability.

Foundation:
Common foundation types are strip footings, pad footings, and slab-on-ground foundations. National Building Regulations (SANS 10400) offer guidelines, specifying a minimum width of 500mm for strip concrete foundations for external walls and 400mm for internal walls.

Slab:
To prevent cracking, ground slabs should not directly rest on foundation walls but be placed separately. Lay slabs between room foundation walls to allow for movement and avoid damage.
