Concrete Block and Beam Ground floor

Recommended Posts

This will be my second self-build.

 

Having previously built with a suspend timber ground floor I am thinking about using a concrete block and beam ground floor construction, I hope to gain a more solid construction, this method also suits my resources just now.

 

Can anybody give me any advice on building with these materials?

Ours went in a month ago and was very straightforward 

Things I liked. Pipe placement was easy and allowed me to move a pipe I wasn’t happy with, has given me a working platform that doesn’t contain any underfloor heating that could get damaged as I have a hundred fixings to go in the floor to hold up my bracing for the icf walls. 

Things I don’t like. large cold void under the floor, increased height of finished floor.
