Mixed light-industrial sheds and residential blocks — workshop and machinery shed slabs are a Hallam specialty, alongside driveways and exposed aggregate for the homes.
Hallam is a mix of light industrial and residential. The industrial pocket runs off the South Gippsland Highway and the residential blocks sit alongside it, and the concreting work here splits the same way. On the industrial side, we pour workshop slabs, machinery shed slabs and hardstand for the yards that run equipment. On the residential side, it's driveways, exposed aggregate and patio slabs for the homes.
Workshop and machinery shed slabs are a Hallam specialty. The slab for a shed has to be sized for what sits on it — a garden shed doesn't need the same slab as a workshop with a hoist, and a machinery shed that's running a forklift needs a different pour again. We ask what's going in the shed before we quote, and we size the thickness, the mesh and the joint layout to the loading. A shed slab poured too thin for what it carries will crack under the first heavy load — we pour it right the first time.
The residential work in Hallam is the same as the rest of the southeast — driveways built for the reactive clay, exposed aggregate for the finish that wears and adds value, and patio and alfresco slabs for the entertaining areas. We handle the City of Greater Dandenong crossovers where the work touches the nature strip, and we give you an itemised written quote every time.

It depends on what's going in the shed. A garden shed is fine on a 100mm slab with mesh; a workshop with a hoist needs thicker concrete and engineered thickening at the hoist points; a machinery shed running a forklift needs 150mm-plus with designed joints. We ask what you're putting in it before we quote, and we size the slab to the loading — not to a square-metre rate.
