		<description>We actually didn&#039;t remove the old slab. The old slab under our place was below where the new level of the slab had to be, so they actually just poured the new slab over top of the old one.

If you were to put a new legal slab under the house after lifting it, the slab would have to be 30-cm above ground level, which is probably higher than your current slab is.

You could probably give Gary a call and he could let you know how much it would cost to raise and restump your house as well as replacing the old slab.</description>

		<description>Hi,

I bought a QLD&#039;er house about a year ago. It has a concrete slab under the house..... There isn&#039;t one square foot of the slab which is level with any other part of the whole slab. The land is on a slant and the slab is on a slant.

So anyway I&#039;d like to remove it and possibly start with a new slab and hopefully raise the house as well.

I can&#039;t seem to find anyone who can tell me how much work is involved in taking out a slab.

The area underneath is 6 ft at the front and 5 ft at the back. I don&#039;t know how thick the slab is but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a top job. I don&#039;t think it is that thick. Although I&#039;m no expert.

Can I ask, was it a big job for you taking out that original slab of your&#039;s?

Regards,

Matt</description>
