Hi, I'm just after a little info. I have bought a new PPOR and downstairs is a 6 car garage that is 230cm high. I would like to build in rooms downstairs, so will have to find 100mm some how. The slab is good under the house and it's already on steel struts. Do I dig out the 100mm, or raise?
There is already an extension on the back (just 7 years old) which steps down the 100mm to be legal. It's got be stuffed shy they didn't raise the entire house then while it was easy to make it all legal.
So my question is, is it worth raising, or should I dig up the slab and relay one? What would it cost to dig approx 50 square meters and lay a new slab?
There wouldn't be a problem with drainage as it handled all this rain in Brisbane no worries.
Cheers.
