SuperSlab

This service helps verify that a design or product meets the standards required under the CodeMark certification scheme.

​

 When you’d need this:

• You’re using a product or system with CodeMark certification.

• You need documentation to prove compliance with the NZ Building Code.

• You want assurance that your design aligns with certified systems, streamlining Building Consent approvals.

This involves preparing plans or details in line with a CodeMark-certified system or product. Our team can assist in drafting compliant layouts, typically focused around foundation and slab systems.

​

What’s included:

• Drafted plans aligned to a certified specification.

• Supporting details required for consent documentation.

• Collaboration with structural or architectural consultants if needed.

This is a full engineered slab design, created by a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng), and includes a Remote PS4 Inspection, the Producer Statement verifying that the slab was constructed as designed.

​

What to expect:

• Customised slab design (e.g., for tricky soil conditions, slope, or load requirements).

• Engineering calculations and design drawings.

• Remote inspection (via photos/video) and PS4 issued upon satisfactory completion.

• Price quote before any commitment is made.

Here you get access to expert feedback on your current design, aiming to improve cost-efficiency, buildability, and sustainability, without compromising on performance or compliance.

​

Examples of advice:

• Reducing unnecessary reinforcement.

• Suggesting more efficient construction sequencing.

• Recommending alternative concrete types or admixtures (e.g., low carbon options).

• Enhancing thermal or structural performance through smarter material choices.

This provides a breakdown of all materials required based on an existing design, ideal for cost estimating, procurement, and tendering.

​

What’s included:

• Full takeoff of concrete volumes, steel reinforcement, and accessories.

• Excel-friendly breakdowns ready for use by contractors or suppliers.

• Clarification of waste allowances or standard packaging units where needed.

This service delivers the calculated thermal resistance (R-value) for concrete slabs or walls, which is crucial for demonstrating compliance with H1 Energy Efficiency requirements in the NZ Building Code.

How it helps:

• Confirms if insulation is required.

• Supports consent documentation.

• Helps specifiers compare different mix designs or construction options (e.g., insulation beneath slabs vs. none).
