Footing Construction

Dalby is situated in a belt of  black soil  which is highly reactive to moisture. It expands when wet and contracts when dry. So unless your home is built on the correct footings, there is a high probability of movement of the footings and therefore cracking of the house.  This is why the builder's footings guarantee is so important to you.

Why Pier and Beam construction?
This black soil is fantastic for farming but problematical for builders since it expands and contracts according to it’s moisture content.

What is a pier & beam foundation?
Reinforced concrete piers 6000mm in the ground upon which is placed steel beams which support the home. This construction allows for your home to be built to the required floor level upon solid foundations which will not move if you look after them.
