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.

Cheers

hardcore mate... some people would just shutter sand and fill but thats a big size shed, do it and do it right 1st time and forget about it.

you dont wanna be here in a yrs time asking how to sort cracks and all sorts in ur base !


Good luck
 
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.

i used hardcore a few broken bricks (to get rid of them lol) 4 inch shuttering (2 inches above ground level).....just filled with cement/ballast been fine since.
