I am building a shed 12m x 6m with a concrete floor, do I need to take the muck out and replace with hardcore then pour my 6 inch of concrete or can I just pour the concrete on the level ground.

I was thinking of putting hardcore down first but not sure what depth also to stop it cracking I was going to lay it in two slabs.
