Once we’d sorted all the necessary planning for our designer granny flat and established the site, it was time to get to work preparing the space for the new build. The site required demolition of an existing garage and a large section of the existing concrete driveway which ran to the side street. Some small trees and paving were also removed ready for the build.
After demolishing the existing structures, our attention turned to cutting and filling the site and establishing the correct ground levels. Some sections of the block required a large cut, while others needed to be backfilled against newly installed retaining walls. Additional fill was brought in to help level the ground against the new concrete sleeper retaining wall system.
With the site now level, we were able to scrape, clean and prepare an area for the concrete slab to be formed and poured. In our next blog we will discuss the process of forming and pouring a concrete waffle pad slab.
