It's an exciting time. Just remain patient and be really diligent at checking everything.

Congratulations it’s a huge step in the process. I’m owner building also, I’ve had mine cured and sealed for 3 months and now waiting for it to stop raining on the east coast everything is ready to go. What size is the slab thanks

[@20acrestohome]

Hi, under roof is about 280 sqm, however the verandah and alfresco area haven't been concreted as yet. I hope it stops raining for you soon!

hi- just wondering, Is this an expensive thing to do[ concert slab insulation] ? Before I approch our builder, I'm trying to figure out a reasonable estimate for doing this to our a single-story home in Melbourne's south-east [22sqm- new build] . thank you for your time

[@20acrestohome]

Hi there, It's not to expensive as an OB, if you're going through a building they'll ad their mark up. Pricewise Insulation is a good resource to get prices of Slabmate, I used 100mm but it's available in various sizes.
