A monolithic slab is a type of concrete foundation that is poured as a single, continuous piece. This design provides a strong and stable base for buildings, as it distributes weight evenly across the surface. Monolithic slabs are commonly used in residential construction, especially in areas with stable soil conditions. The construction process involves pouring concrete directly onto a prepared site, which includes excavation and leveling. This method is often quicker and more cost-effective than other foundation types, such as basement foundations or crawl spaces. Monolithic slabs also help prevent moisture issues by keeping the structure elevated above the ground.
