Foundations
At Urban BuildCo, every successful home starts with a strong foundation. Our flooring services ensure durability and stability, using precision workmanship and innovative techniques for lasting results, whether a new build or a specialised project.
Here is everything you need to know about our foundation.
RibRaft Floor System - For those who are not familiar with this type of foundation, it has quickly become New Zealand's most popular flooring system for residential and light commercial buildings. These floors sit on the ground rather than in it and have great seismic strength.
They are designed for your individual building site/house, have excellent insulation values, and have a quicker turnaround time. Not to mention, they are cost-effective and energy efficient, and your site remains tidy—with minimal excavation needed.
Advantages of the RibRaft floor system include:
- Seismically strong
- Energy-efficient concrete floor
- Time, labour, and cost savings
- Cleaner construction, with far less excavated material and waste
Cupolex Floor System
In every respect, Cupolex is a superior concrete slab alternative to rib raft, stiffened raft and other concrete void systems. It's green, reduces building cycle time and minimises engineered fill requirements, saving time and money.
Cupolex is a cost-effective, eco-friendly concrete slab solution manufactured in New Zealand from 100% recycled materials, which can be recycled at the end of their life. Reducing the need for pallets to transport minimises the carbon footprint and associated costs.
Superior Design:
- Patented Italian design provides optimised reinforcing in your concrete slab.
- Provides an absolute barrier, mitigating rising damp. No footings.
- Can be ventilated and used as a heat transfer system.
