| The QBCC says most Queensland homes are built on clay soils that dry out rapidly in dry seasons and become wet quickly in wet seasons, which can cause sudden extreme volume changes and soil movement. Under the Standard it lists, as acceptable, concrete floors with hairline cracks less than 2 mm wide, and as not acceptable, concrete floors with cracks wider than 2 mm; it says unacceptable movement may be a subsidence problem to take up with the builder. Ask what the contractor will do about cracks before a coating goes on.About cracked slab coating | a cracked concrete floor in a Queensland house | Queensland Building and Construction Commission: Protect against subsidence · read |

What changes a quote
Start with the floor itself: what is on it now, how wide its cracks are and how much preparation it needs. Grinding comes next, because the dust controls and the handling of slurry belong in the quote. An older house can add testing for asbestos before anything is ground. How the job is done around wash water is last: Toowoomba Regional Council's line on stormwater is in the rules check above.
What a quote should settle
The Queensland Government says a supplier guarantees that services will be supplied with due care and skill and that the service will be fit for the specified purpose, so say what the floor is for when you ask. Ask for the contract before work starts and for the contractor's QBCC number and class on it. The rules check above lists each Queensland line, the value lines among them, with its source and read date.
