Slab construction is a building method where a flat, horizontal concrete surface, known as a slab, is poured directly on the ground. This technique is commonly used for foundations in residential and commercial buildings. The slab provides a stable base and helps distribute the weight of the structure evenly. There are two main types of slab construction: monolithic slabs, which are poured in a single pour, and raised slabs, which are elevated above the ground. Slab construction is popular due to its cost-effectiveness, speed of installation, and durability, making it suitable for various climates and soil conditions.
