Suspended Slabs
Perth.
Undercrofts, upper floors and commercial decks — formed, reinforced and poured under one contract.
Suspended Slabs
Decks formed, fixed and poured.
Suspended slabs are the core of what we do. MC Structures forms, reinforces and pours suspended concrete slabs across Perth — undercroft garages and ground floors on sloping blocks, upper floors on double-storey homes and apartments, and staged decks on commercial structures.
The deck is built on propped formwork set out from the drawings, reinforcement is fixed to the engineer's drawings and presented for inspection, and the slab is poured, screeded and finished in one coordinated operation — then stripped and back-propped at the right strength. One contractor, one contract, from set-out to strip.
On sloping Perth blocks a suspended slab often beats mass fill: less sand, better use of the fall, and usable space underneath. If you're weighing it up, send the plans through and we'll price it.

Pricing
What drives a suspended slab price.
Two slabs with the same floor area can price very differently. When we quote off your drawings, this is what moves the number:
- Deck height
- Spans & slab design
- Edge details, voids & set-downs
- Site slope & access
- Steel density in the design
- Finish class on the top surface

Common questions
Straight answers.
How much does a suspended slab cost in Perth?
It varies with the deck height, slab thickness and design, edge details and access. Send us the structural drawings and we'll return a fixed, itemised price for the full form, fix and pour — no vague provisional sums.
How long does a suspended slab take?
A typical residential deck runs from set-out to pour in a matter of weeks depending on size and design, with the formwork stripped once the concrete reaches design strength. We'll give you a realistic programme with the quote.
Do you do the whole slab or just part of it?
Either. Most clients take the full package — formwork, reinforcement and concrete under one contract — but we can deliver any of the three trades alongside your existing contractors.
