Housebuilders' guide to new floor standards

摘要

There is no doubt that the methods used to construct new floors have come on in leaps and bounds in the last decade. However, block and beam floors still remain the most popular solution for housebuilders when building a ground floor. Suspended concrete flooring systems were originally developed as a means of overcoming ground problems such as unstable sloping sites, where it made sense to bridge deep gaps rather than fill them. Today, nearly all new houses employ block and beam construction for ground floors.
