What matters for concreting & paving in Adelaide

South Australia has no dollar threshold for a builder's licence. Anyone carrying on business as a building work contractor needs a Consumer and Business Services licence no matter how small the job, and that includes subcontractors running their own business.

Every SA domestic building contract carries implied warranties that the work is done properly, to accepted trade standards and with good materials. You have five years from completion to start proceedings for a breach, and that limit cannot be extended.

Reactive clay runs through Adelaide's inner south east, north east and western suburbs, with reported ground movement of 60 to 75 mm or more in drought and heavy rain. Sites like that classify H1, H2 or E under AS 2870, which means deeper stiffened footings and articulation joints, not a standard slab.

On reactive clay the damage shows up as slab edge heave or centre doming with cracking through walls and floors, and the repair is underpinning with grout injection or piers. It is moisture change that drives it, so a leaking pipe or a blocked downpipe near a footing is a structural problem, not a plumbing nuisance.
